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.
(usually math doesn't ask you to go farther than the thousanths place)
because 15/9 is 1.66666, you will go to the hundreths place and round that six. Six is one more than five so it gets rounded up. That changes the decimal to 1.67. You do not change it to 1.7, because it asked you to round to the nearest hundred not the nearest tens
