Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
She had $11 left from $59,
she therefore spent $59 - $11 = $48
divide $48 by 6 to find cost of one book, that is
cost of book = $48 ÷ 6 = $8
(2)
consecutive numbers have 1 between them
let n, n + 1 and n + 2 be the three numbers. then
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 102 ( sum of 3 numbers )
3n + 3 = 102 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3n = 99 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = 33
The 3 numbers are 33, 34 and 35
33 is the smallest of the three
