Question

Benny has 332 dollars to spend on 9 books. after buying them he had 17 dollars. How much did each book cost?

Answer 1

Each book costs 35 dollars

Answer 2

$35

Explanation:

1) Calculate how much was spent

If Benny started with 332 dollars and was left with 17 dollars to find how much he spent we just need to subtract them

• 332 - 17 = 315

2) Find out how much one cost

If 315 dollars was spent on 9 books to find out how much just 1 book cost we need to divide the values

• 315 ÷ 9 = 35

Meaning that one book cost $35

Hope this helps, have a great day!
