The wide of river is $50\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Jordan has $40 to spend at the yard sale. He buys 6 books for $2 each. He would like to spend the rest of his money on model car

Deffense [45]

Answer:

He can buy 4 model cars

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ His total money = the cost of books + the cost of model cars

∵ He buys 6 books and the price of each book is $2

∵ The cost of each model car is $7 , let the number of model cars is c

∵ He has $40

∴ 6 × 2 + 7 × c = 40

∴12 + 7c = 40

∴ 7c = 40 - 12 = 28

∴ c = 28/7 = 4

∴ He can buy 4 model cars
