Answer:

5 books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly Charges of ABC club = 40$

Per book read charges of ABC club = 2$

amount of book read = x

Total charges of ABC club = 40 + 2x

Monthly Charges of Easy book club = 40$

Per book read charges of Easy Book club = 3$

Total charges of Easy book club = 35 + 3x

To calculate how many books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal,

Total charges of ABC club = Total charges of Easy book club

40 + 2x = 35 + 3x

40 - 35 = 3x -2x

5 = x

x = 5

Therefore, 5 books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal.
