X=11
After buying
7 books, Sally had
$17 left over from $94

The total amount sally spent on each book would be $11

94-17=77

X= 77 divided by 7 which equals 11

X=11

Hope this helps :)

Answer:


\mathsf {x = 11}

Explanation:


\textsf {Let the cost of a single book be x.}


\textsf {Formed equation :}


\implies \mathsf {94 - 7x = 17}


\implies \mathsf {7x = 77}


\implies \mathsf {x = 11}

Each book costs approximately $11
