150=B1+B2+B3
B3=1.5*(B1+B2)
B1+B2=B3/1.5
150=B3/1.5+B3
225=B3+1.5(B3)
225=2.5(B3)
B3=90

The more expensive book cost $90.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We require to find DC

ΔDEC and ΔBAC are similar triangles, hence the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{ED}{AB}$ = $\frac{DC}{BC}$ , that is

$\frac{11.5}{23.5}$ = $\frac{DC}{44}$ ( cross- multiply )

23.5DC = 506 ( divide both sides by 23.5 )

DC ≈ 21.532

distance travelled = BC + DC = 44 + 21.532 ≈ 65.5 in → C
