Answer 1

The amount of total cost is:

C=70.83

Let:

C= total amount for 5 gifts

x= number of paperback books

As x is the number of pb books out of 5, so remainder hard covered books is:

5-x

Amount for pb books is:

6.95*x dollar

Amount foe hc books is:

24.99(5-x) dollar

Total amount is the sum of both amounts:

C=6.95*x + 24.99(5-x)

Substitute x=3:

C=6.95(3) + 24.99(5-3)

After calculation

C=70.83 dollars
