Let the cost of one book= x cents
Let the money john have= y cents

According to the question,

45x=y                                               ...eq(1)
(45+5)(x-5)=y                                  
50(x-5)=y                                         
50x-250=y                                        ...eq(2)

On subtracting (1) from (2).
(50x-250)-45x=y-y
5x-250=0
x=250/5
x=50

Thus, cost of each book is 50 cents and john has 2250 cents.

Hope it helps.
Don't feel shy in saying thx if it helps.

Feliz [49]

We have been given that Tina designed an electric skateboard that has a speed of 4 miles per hour. Further we are given that in one hour it travels 4 miles, and in 2 hours it travels 8 miles.

We know that speed of any object can be found at any time, irrespective of it being a complete hour or a fractional hour. Therefore, speed of the electric skateboard is an example of continuous data.

The that in one hour it travels 4 miles, and in 2 hours it travels 8 miles have been given so that someone can easily confuse the speed of electric skateboard as a discrete data, but in actual speed of skateboard is a continuous data.
