Question

At a sale, each book was marked $3.00 off the original price. Daniel paid $46.00 for two books that had the same sale price. What was the original cost of ONE of his books?

Answer 1

The answer would be $26.00

Explanation:

Taking into consideration that Daniel has 2 books and is paying $46.00 with the discounted prices, we can say that if there was no discount, the full price would be $52, since there's 2 books, it would be 3•2= 6 and $49 + 6 = $52. Now knowing the original pricing for two books, we can now divide the number by 2 and get $26.00.
