Answer:$15.25
Step-by-step explanation:just multiply $1.25x9 then add 4
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6
3x+6-5
Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3
5x-x-3 = 4x-3
4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1
x=4
The answer is: " 40 books " .

Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with. Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
x – (1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ;
(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16 ;
(1/2)x = 20 ;
Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ;
2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ;
to get: x = 40 .
