for $5 off the entire purchase. She pays a total of $60.

Answer 1

Without the discount each book is 16.25 with the discount theyre 15 each

Answer 2

Georgia can buy a maximum of 16 magazines in a week if each magazine costs $4, given that she has $65 to spend (which is the total cost of 4 books before a $5 discount).

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating the Maximum Number of Magazines Purchased

The question involves solving a simple mathematics problem related to budgeting and purchasing. If Georgia buys 4 books online with each book priced the same, uses a $5 discount, and pays a total of $60, we need to find out the price of each book first. To do this, we add back the $5 discount to the total paid amount, getting a subtotal of $65 before the discount was applied. Since she bought 4 books, we divide the subtotal by the number of books: $65 / 4 = $16.25 per book.

Now, if we want to find the maximum number of magazines Georgia could buy in a week at a price of $4 each, we can imagine she is spending this $65 on magazines instead of books. So we divide the total amount she would spend on books by the price of one magazine: $65 / $4 = 16.25. Since she can't buy a fraction of a magazine, we round down to the nearest whole number, which is 16. Thus, Georgia can buy a maximum of 16 magazines in a week with the same budget.
