Answer:

Each notebook would cost around $4

Explanation:

24-12=12

seeing how you spent $12 on buying 3 books you'd divide

12÷3=4

meaning each book would cost around $4

Answer:

Each notebook cost $

Explanation:

Hi :)

If the three books in total cost $12, then that means she had $12 leftover.

The equation:

3x + 12 = 24

-12 on both sides

3x = 12

divide by three on both sides

x = 4

hope this helps :)
