Question

Muskaan had 157 dollars to spend on 6 books. After buying the she had 13 dollars. How much did each book cost?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the cost of each book = $24

Step-by-step explanation:

(if all the books have the same price)

Let x be the price of one book

“She had $157 and After buying 6 books ,she was left with 13$“ means

“157 = 6x + 13”

now we have an equation to solve :

157 = 6x + 13

⇔ 157 - 13 = 6x

⇔ 144 = 6x

⇔ 24 = x
