How much did each book cost ?
Equation
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:8 dollars per book

Explanation:

Keith started with 81 dollars, and hadd seventeen dollars left over. Subtract 81 from 17 and you will get how much he spent. 64 dollars spent to buy books. Next you would divide 64 by 8, because 8 is the amount of books he bought. 64 divided by 8 is 8. So each book cost 8 dollars

Equation: (81-17) divided by 8

Answer 2

You would do 81-17=64 because they had eighty one dollars in the beginning and 17 dollars left. then divide it by 8 because that is how many books were bought.
Equation: i’m not sure
Answer: 8
