Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side. It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. We have LHS = RHS (left hand side = right hand side) in every mathematical equation. To determine the value of an unknown variable that represents an unknown quantity, equations can be solved.
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.
