Hannah wants to buy some notebooks of the same price. If she buys 6 notebooks, she will have $7.30 left. If she buys 8 notebooks, she will have no money left.
- How much does each notebook cost?
- How much does Hannah have?
(a)
Cost of 2 notebooks = $7.30
Cost of each notebook
= 7.30 ÷ 2
= $3.65
(b)
Since Hannah will have no money left if she buys 8 notebooks, the amount that she has is the cost of 8 notebooks.
Amount that Hannah has
= 8 x 3.65
= $29.20
Answer(s): (a) $3.65; (b) $29.20
