Answer:

22 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books = 288books

Total number of schools = 6 + 7 = 13

If the books are distributed evenly, it means it was distributed in such a way that all the school has equal number of copies.

Each book will receive 288/13 copies

288/13 = 22.15

Hence the best estimate for the number of books each school received is 22 books
