Question

You bought a magazine for $5.60 and

some notepads for $3.60 each. You spent
a total of $12.80. How many notepads did
you buy?

Answer 1

So basically you just subtract 5.60 from 12.80 because you only bought 1 magazine. Then you get 7.20 which you divide by 3.60 because your trying to figure out how many notepads you bought and you get 2. You bought 2 notepads. Hope this helped!
