Question

Tim had 240 dollars to spend on 6 books. After buying them he had 12 dollars. How much did each book cost?

Answer 1

For this case we subtract $228 minus $12 to find the amount of money Tim spent on books. So, to know how much spending in each book we divide $228 by 6.

$\frac {228} {6} = 38$

So, we have that each book costs $38.

Answer:

Each book costs $38
