Question

Mario spent $23.85 at the bookstore on one book and some magizines. The book cost $12.60 and the magizines cost $2.25 each. How many magizines did Mario buy

Answer 1

Mario bought five books.

Explanation:

If Mario bought n magazines, then n is the solution of

23.85 = 12.60 + n*2.25

23.85 - 12.60 = n*2.25

11.25 = n*2.25

n = 11.25/2.25

n = 5
