Question

Marley had $120 to buy books. She purchased 6 books and has $18 left.
How much was each book?

Answer 1

$17

Explanation:

If Marley had $120 to buy books and has a remainder of $18 left, then you would subtract 18 from 120 first.

120 - 18 = 102

Next you would divide.

102/6 = 17

The price of each book was $17.
