Question

Lamar ordered some books online for 6$ each. He paid a total of 3$ for shipping. The total cost of the purchase was 75$ . How many books did he buy?

Answer 1

He bought 12 books.

Explanation:

Here is your equation: 6 b+3=75

Step 1- Subtract 3 from both sides: 6 b+3-3=75-3

6 b=72

Step 2- Divide by 6: 6 b/6=72/6

b = 12 books in total.
