ANSWER

40 Books

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

1. The total amount spent at the bookstore = $18

2. The cost of each book = $0.45

Desired Result:

Total number of books bought at the bookstore.

Declaration of variable

Let n represent number of books bought


\begin{gathered} n\text{ }*0.45\text{ = 18} \\ n\text{ = }(18)/(0.45) \\ n\text{ = 40} \end{gathered}

Hence, the total number of books Jordan bought at the bookstore = 40.
