Divides 45.85 by 15 you will get 3 same for the other cost- the divide 3 by 55.81 and you get 19
50% of 40 is 20, and 40% of 50 is 20, neither one is greater, they're equal
write out the equation:
8y=3+7y (I'm assuming y is the amount of comic books)
8=3+7
8=10
Obviously the equation isn't equal. The nonfiction is greater. By the way, I took out the y because I assumed that y was the amount of books and there was no need to write out 8 times one. On a test, make sure you specify this of the teacher may take off points, if she is using Common Core.
