Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought 3 magazines, how many
books did he buy? The equation that models the problem is 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65, where m is the number of magazines and b is the number of books.
It’s 4.
The number of books is 4
Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought 3 magazines, how many books did he buy?
The equation that models the problem is 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65, where m is the number of magazines and b is the number of books.
If you don't help ill call my mom
The amount of books is four. therefore, m=4.
its 4 bro
What's the answer
To find out how many books Hugh bought, we can use the equation that models the problem: 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65.
We know that Hugh bought 3 magazines, so we substitute m with 3 in the equation: 3.95(3) + 8.95b = 47.65.
Now we can solve for b by simplifying the equation: 11.85 + 8.95b = 47.65.
Next, we isolate the variable b by subtracting 11.85 from both sides of the equation: 8.95b = 47.65 - 11.85.
Simplifying further, we have: 8.95b = 35.80.
Finally, to find the value of b, we divide both sides of the equation by 8.95: b = 35.80 / 8.95.
Evaluating this expression, we find that b ≈ 4.
Therefore, Hugh bought 4 books.
youŕe wrong.
Your equation is correct
now, you are told that m = 3
solve:
3.95(3) + 8.95b = 47.65
