Anthony wants to buy some notebooks of the same price. If she buys 10 notebooks, she will have $9.80 left. If she buys 12 notebooks, she will have no money left.
- How much does each notebook cost?
- How much does Anthony have?
(a)
Cost of 2 notebooks = $9.80
Cost of each notebook
= 9.80 ÷ 2
= $4.90
(b)
Since Anthony will have no money left if she buys 12 notebooks, the amount that she has is the cost of 12 notebooks.
Amount that Anthony has
= 12 x 4.90
= $58.80
Answer(s): (a) $4.90; (b) $58.80
