Given :
Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.
She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.
She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.
To Find :
The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.
Solution :
Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :
Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)
Money left = $44.64
Number of comic she can buy is :

Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.
Hence, this is the required solution.
To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.
Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015
Then we have:

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.
