Question

Kenny pays $50.00 for a total of 12 books. If each book cost the same, how much was each book?

Answer 1

Hey there! All you’d have to do is set up an equation!
12x = $50.00, where x is our unknown, or the cost of each individual book.
Divide 12 from both sides:
12x/12 = $50.00/12
x = 4.1667
So, the total cost of each book is around $4.17!

Answer 2

x= 4 1/6

Explanation:

1. Create equation

12x=50

2. Solve

12x/12=50/12

x=4 1/6

3. Check

12x4 1/6=50

12x50/12=50

50=50

Correct!

4. Answer

x= 4 1/6
