Question

Jenny bought notebooks at the store for $1.35 each. She spent $8.10 on the notebooks. Let x represent the number of notebooks Jenny bought. Use the equation 1.35x = 8.10 to find the number of notebooks she bought

Answer 1

She bought 6 notebooks

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the number of notebooks bought

This is represented by the number x

To find the value of x, we simply divide both sides of the equation by 1.35

Thus, we have

x = 8.1/1.35

x = 6
