Question

Ivan purchased one bookmark and 7 books for a total of $82.00. The price of the bookmark was $2.20 and each book cost the same amount.

What was the cost of one book in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

$11.40

Explanation:

Subtract the bookmark from the total amount

82.00 - 2.20 = 79.80

Divide the answer by how many books you purchased

79.80/7

= ($11.40)

Answer 2

82-2.20=79.80
79.80/7=11.40
One book cost $11.40
