Answer:

the student in question bought 3 large notebooks and 3 small notebooks

Explanation:

the easiest way to explain how to do this is by recognizing that the student bought $54 worth of notebooks- which is not divisible by 10 easily. that means, we should subtract 8 from 54 until we get a number that IS divisible

54 - 8 = 46 (one small notebook)

46 - 8 = 38 (two small notebooks)

3 8 - 8 = 30 (three small notebooks)

then, divide 30 by 10 to see how many large notebook the student bought.

30/10 = 3

the student in question bought 3 large notebooks and 3 small notebooks
