Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought 3 magazines, how many books did he buy?
The equation that models the problem is 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65, where m is the number of magazines and b is the number of books.
First you must add up all of the numbers. Then divide the sum by the number of students in the class. You will get 2.65 as your answer. Then round to the nearest number. Your final answer is 3.
