First, convert 3/5 to a percent by multiplying it by 20/20, getting 60/100, or 60%. Then, find 60% of 40 by multiplying 60 by 40 to get 2,400 and divide it by 100 to get 24, meaning Mark spend $24 on both books. Each of the books cost $12, as 24/2 is 12.

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.
