at a book fair, a tote bag cost $5 and books cost $3.50 each. You spend a total of $19. How many books did you buy in addition to one tote bag

Respuesta :

you would have bought 4 to have spent 19 dollars.


To find how many books you bought,what you need to do is deduct the the amount of tote bag(5) from the total (19) then devide it by the cost of a book (3.5)

here's the equation:
(19-5)÷3.5
=14÷3.5
=4

Thus you bought 4 books.

Hope it helps!
