Answer 2

Answer:

4 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for one used = $2.27

The question requires you to find the number of books that could be purchased with $10

Let assume the cost for a single used book to be $ t

If you have $ x in your pocket then the number of books you can purchase with $ x will be;

number of books= $ x/ $t.............................(a)

Applying this expression to the question;

$t= $2.27

$ x= $10

number of books = $10/$2.27 = 4.405 = 4 books
