Let the cost of one book= x cents
Let the money john have= y cents
According to the question,
45x=y ...eq(1)
(45+5)(x-5)=y
50(x-5)=y
50x-250=y ...eq(2)
On subtracting (1) from (2).
(50x-250)-45x=y-y
5x-250=0
x=250/5
x=50
Thus, cost of each book is 50 cents and john has 2250 cents.
Hope it helps.
Don't feel shy in saying thx if it helps.
First things first, you will have 94 + x. Place those on top of a fraction bar and on the bottom put the two numbers over 2. So you have 94 + x over 2. Then, write the symbol ‘greater than or equal to’ and on the other side place your 90. So, 90 + x over 2 is greater than or equal to 90. This is a difficult thing to write out and explain so I hope this makes sense. :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2X + 1 + 3X - 2 + 4X - 5 = 180
9X - 6 = 180
9X = 174
9 = 174

9 9
X = 19.333
