Help solving one more question please!Mason spent $15.85 for 3 notebooks and 2 boxes of markers.The boxes of markers cost $3.95 each,and the sales tax was $1.23.he also used a coupon for $0.75 off his purchase.If each notebook had same cost,how much did each notebook cost?

If each notebook cost x, then

3x + 2*3.95 + 1.23 - 0.75 = 15.85

Now just solve for x.

What is the answer to that question

To find the cost of each notebook, we need to subtract the cost of the markers, sales tax, and coupon from the total amount spent.

First, let's calculate the cost of the markers. Since the cost of each box of markers is $3.95 and Mason bought 2 boxes, the total cost of the markers is 2 × $3.95 = $7.90.

Next, let's calculate the total amount spent before using the coupon. The total amount spent before using the coupon is $15.85 + $1.23 (sales tax) = $17.08.

Now, let's subtract the cost of the markers ($7.90) and the coupon amount ($0.75) from the total amount spent before using the coupon to find the cost of the notebooks. The cost of the notebooks is $17.08 - $7.90 - $0.75 = $8.43.

Since there were 3 notebooks, we can divide the cost of the notebooks by the number of notebooks to find the cost of each notebook. The cost of each notebook is $8.43 ÷ 3 = $2.81.

Therefore, each notebook costs $2.81.
