Hey there. So basically, find out how much the pencils and notebooks cost first.
The notebooks cost = $3.25
The pencils cost = $0.50
Then, think about what you need to figure out in this problem.
Jake has $20. You need to find how many notebooks Jake can buy in maximum after buying 8 pencils.
If Jake buys 8 pencils that costs $0.50 each, he spends $4 on the pencils.
So now, to find out how many notebooks he can buy, do 20 minus 4.
Jake's got $16 left.
If the notebooks cost $3.25 each, we need to find out how many notebooks he can buy by dividing them. So, 16 divided by 3.25 equals 4.923... and so on.
That means, Jake can buy 4 notebooks with his remaining money.
X = 3/2
<em><u>I hope this could help!</u></em>
You would add 10.3 and 5.9 which would equal 16.2, and subtract that from 20 and change that decimal into a fraction, which would be 19/50
