Question

Chole bought 5 sets of books. Each set has the same number of books. She donated 8 of her books to her school. Now she has 22 books. How many books were in each set? Show all mathematical thinking.

Answer 1

there were 6 books in each set becuase If you add 22 plus 8 is equal to 30. 30 is the number of book of all 5 sets put together you divide 30 by 5 to figure out how many were in each set and 30÷5 is equal to 6. 6 is the number of books in each set.
