Question

What is the equation for Mrs Johnson just purchased a total of 12 books and magazines for her office. The total bill was $112 . She spent $16 on magazines, and the books cost $12 each. How many books did she buy

Answer 1

Mrs. Johnson bought 8 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many books Mrs. Johnson bought, we need to subtract the amount she spent on magazines from the total bill.

Mrs. Johnson spent $16 on magazines, so the remaining amount is:

112 - $16 = $96.

Each book costs $12, so we divide the remaining amount by the cost of each book:

$96 / $12

= 8 books.

Therefore, Mrs. Johnson bought 8 books.
