Answer:
213 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Paper books = $1.45 each
$ 1.45 = 1 paper book
$ 1 = 1/1.45 paper book
$98.6 = 98.6/1.45 paper books
$ 98.6 = 68 paper books
Hardback books = $ 2.25 each
$2.25 = 1 Hardbook
$1 = 1/2.25 hardbook
$ 328.10 = 328.10/2.25 hardbooks
$ 328.10 = 145.822 hard books
Number of books cannot be a decimal number, so the value has to be estimated to a nearer whole number.
$ 328.10 = 145 hard books
Total number of books bought = (145 + 68)books= 213 books (Answer)

7x-2=5x+12
+2. +2
7x=5x+14
-5x -5x
2x=14
÷2 ÷2
x=7
