Question

A school librarian has enough money to order 8 paperback books at $155 each. If the librarian decided instead to

order books with hard covers at $188 each, how many books can the librarian buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 hard cover books

Explanation:

$155 x 8 =1,240

$188 x 6 = 1,128 which is as close as you can get without going over

Answer 2

hi

money he has : 155 *8 = 800 + 440 = 1240

SO 1240 / 188 ≈ 6.59

so answer is 6 as you cannot buy half books...
