Answer:
The price per book that Mary purchased is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary's total cost can be expressed as;
C=(p×n)+s
where;
C=total cost
p=price per unit of books
n=number of books purchased
s=shipping fee
In our case;
C=$55.25
p=unknown
n=4
s=$7.25
replacing;
55.25=(4×p)+7.25
4 p+7.25=55.25
4 p=55.25-7.25
4 p=48
p=48/4
p=12
The price per book that Mary purchased is $12
7 3/4
Step 1: Multiply 7 and 4.
7 x 4=28
Step 2:Add 3 to their product.
28+3=31
Step 3:The number so obtained is the numerator and the denominator remains the same.
