Question

Dan had 249 dollars to spend on 7 books. After buying them he had 18 dollars. How much did each book cost?

Answer 1

First, lets subtract the amount he has after the transaction and the amount he had before the transaction.

249 - 18 = 231

Second, divide by the amount of books Dan bought.

231 / 7 = $33 per book.

Best of Luck!
