Answer 1

You need to buy 12 books to get a $15 coupon.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You get a $5 coupon for every 4 books you buy.

First, we need to structure the total coupon formula:

Total coupon= 5*x

x= pack of four books

Now, for $15

15 = 5x

15/5= x

3= x

4*3= 12

You need to buy 12 books to get a $15 coupon.
