Answer 1

Answer:

There are 392 storybooks.

There are 49 magazines.

There are 343 more storybooks than magazines are there in the library.

Step-by-step explanation:

s = number of storybooks

m = number of magazines

The library has 441 storybooks and magazines altogether.

s + m = 441

There are 8 times as many storybooks as magazines.

s = 8m

How many more storybooks than magazines are there in the library ?

Substitute s = 8m into the original equation to find m.

s + m = 441

8m + m = 441

9m = 441

m = 441/9

m = 49

Substitute m = 49 into the original equation to find s.

s + m = 441

s + 49 = 441

s = 441 - 49

s = 392

s - m = 392 - 49 = 343

Answer 2

Answer:

392

Step-by-step explanation:

8 times of a story books

And there are 441 of both the magazine and story books

Let the magazine be x

And the story books be 8 times of x which means 8x

8x+x=441

9x=441

Divide both sides by 9

x=49

So there 49 magazines

To determine for storybooks

49×8=392

Therefore the number of storybooks is 392
