Question

Bert Has $50 to spend at the book. Look, he buys 2 magazines. Hown needs $9 books can Bert buy? Write one or more equations to show how you solve. Tell what your variable will represent

Answer 1

Without the exact cost of the magazines, we can't determine how many $9 books Bert can buy. However, we can write an equation showing the relationship between the number of books and the amount of money spent on the magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves Bert who has $50 to spend at the bookstore. If Bert buys 2 magazines, we need to determine how many $9 books he can purchase with the remaining money.

Let's assume the cost of each magazine is m dollars. So, Bert spends 2m dollars on magazines. We don't know the cost of the magazines, so we need to express the remaining budget in terms of m. This gives us:

• Total Budget: $50
• Money spent on magazines: 2m
• Remaining budget: $50 - 2m

Bert wants to buy books that cost $9 each. Let b represent the number of books Bert can buy. We can write an equation for the total cost of the books Bert wishes to buy:

9b = $50 - 2m

Without the cost of the magazines, we cannot precisely solve for b, but we can write this equation to show the relationship between the number of books and the money spent on magazines.
