To find out how much each book cost first we will subract to find out how many 2 books cost. Then we will divide. last but not least we will check our wok. Lets do it:-
30 - 8.95 = <span>21.05
</span><span>21.05 - 7.25 = 13.80
</span>
CHECK OUR WORK:-
13.80 + 7.25 = 21.05
21.05 + 8.95 = 30
We were RIGHT!!!
Now lets divide:-
13.80 ÷ 2 = 6.90
1 book costs $6.90.
CHECK OUR WORK:-
6.90 × 2 = 13.80
We were RIGHT!!!!
So, 1 book costs $6.90.
Hope i helped ya!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can multiply -3 by 4 and then multiply the result of that by 5, or you could write -3, 4 and 5 in other orders (6 possible orders) and obtain the same result.
I would multiply (-3) by 4, obtaining -12, and then multiply this -12 by 5, obtaining -60. But I could also multiply 5 by 4, obtaining 20, and then multiply this 20 by -3, obtaining the same -60.
What I have described here are the commutative and associative properties of multiplication.
