Answer:

24.8333 with 3 repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make an equation for this.

159 - x = 15

X is what we are loooking for so lets isolate it.

Subtract 159 on both sides.

-x = -149

Since both are negative we need to simply cross it out.

x = 149

Now he bought six books, so divide 149 by 6.

You would get 24.8333 with the 3 repeating.
