Question

9. Jamie ha ahorrado $ 42 del dinero de su asignación para comprar libros. Si compra 5 libros a d dólares por libro, le quedarán 42 5d de su asignación. ¿Cuánto le queda si los libros cuestan $ 3.50 cada uno?

Answer 1

$24.50

Explanation:

Jamie has saved $ 42 of his allowance money to buy books. If you buy 5 books at d dollars per book, you will have 42- 5d left of your allowance. How much is left if the books cost $ 3.50 each?

We have the equation

42 - 5d = Amount of Allowance left

d = 3.50

Hence:.42 - 5 × 3.50

= $42 - 17.5

= 24.5
