given:

total cost if the books= $32351

each book= $17

to find:

the number of books the library purchased.

solution:

to find the total number of books the library has purchased you'll have to divide the total cost of the books by cost of one book.


(32351)/(17)


= 1903

therefore, the library purchased 1903 books in total.
