Ms. Martin had $89 to

spend on children's
books for the library. If
books cost $9.50 each.
how many books could
she buy and still have $7
left over?​

8 books because if you subtract $7 from $89 to get $82 this insures you will have $7 left over then you divide $82 by $9.50 which equals 8.631578947368421 so you can only buy 8
