Let x represent the cost of book B

Book A: $17.50

Book B: x

Sales tax: (A + B) x 6% = .06(17.50 + x) = 1.05 + .06x

book A + book B + sales tax = total cost

(17.50) + (x) + (1.05 + .06x) = 44.52 <em>plugged in all of the values</em>

18.55 + 1.06x = 44.52 <em>added like terms</em>

1.06x = 25.97 <em>subtracted 18.55 from both sides</em>

x = 24.50 divided 1.06 from both sides

Answer: $24.50
