Question

Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. Let m represent the number of magazines and b represent the number of books. Which equation models the situation?

Answer 1

m- number of magazines
b- number of books

m*3,95 + b*8,95 = 47,65

or in other way: 3,95m + 8,95b=47,65

Answer 2

(3.95m) + (8.95b) = 47.65

Explanation:

Hugh bought some magazines that cost = $3.95 each

the cost of each books = $8.95

He spent a total on purchase of books and magazines = $47.65

Let m represent the number of magazines and b represent the number of books.

Now the equation will be

(3.95m) + (8.95b) = 47.65
