Sophia bought 2 pens, a book and a bag from a bookstore. The book cost 3 times as much as the pen and the bag cost $15 more than the book. She spent $175 altogether. What was the cost of the book?

Answer 1

book $60 pen $20 bag $75

Explanation:

book=3p

bag=3p+15

book = $60 (3*20)

bag = $75 (60+15)

Total $175
