Question

Aldo went to the store and purchased 8 notebooks for

school. He gave the cashier a $20.00 bill and received
$4.08. Each notebook cost the same amount. Describe the
process you would use to find the cost of each notebook.

Answer 1

$1.99

Explanation:

20 - 4.08 = $15.92

15.92 divided by 8 = $1.99

Answer 2

Explanation:

Start with $20.00.

Subtract the change, $4.08, from $20.00 to find out the amount he spent on 8 notebooks.

Then divide the amount he spent by 8 to find the cost of one notebook.
