Question

A man buys four books from the store and a Preferred Reader discount card for $20. Later that day, he goes back and buys five more books. He also got a $5 discount using his new card. If he spent a total of $87 at the bookstore, how much did each book cost assuming every book cost the same amount?

hintHint:

○ Form the equation using the given information.
○ Take variable quantity as x.
○ After discount the purchasing price will be
rightwards double arrow(original price - discount)

The correct answer is: Rs. 30


    ○ Given:
    Total sheet metal = 8.2 sq. feet
    Used sheet metal = 2.1 sq. feet.
    Worth of remaining sheet = Rs. 183
    ○ Step 1:
    Calculate remaining sheet metal.
    rightwards double arrow8.2 - 2.1 sq. feet
    rightwards double arrow6.1 sq. feet
    So,
    Remaining sheet metal is 6.1 sq. feet..
    ○ Step 1:
    Let the cost of metal sheet per sq. fraction numerator 183 over denominator 6.1 end fraction feet be Rs. x
    ∴ cost of remaining sheet metal is
    rightwards double arrow6.1x rupees
    It is given that the cost of remaining sheet metal is 183 rupees
    ∴ 6.1x = 183
    rightwards double arrowx =
    rightwards double arrowx =  30
    • Final Answer:
    Hence, the cost of sheet metal per sq. feet is Rs. 30.

    The x + 2 = 6 x+2=6x, plus, 2, equals 6 contains a variable. We call this type of equation with a variable an algebraic equation. Finding the variable value that will result in a true equation is typically our aim when solving an algebraic equation.
    ¶Variables or constants are the two types of measurable quantities. A variable is a quantity with a varying value, and the constant value is nothing but a constant.
    Steps to writing Variable Equation
    1) Identify the variables that represent the unknowns.
    2) Convert the issue into variable expressions in algebra.
    3) Determine the variables' values to solve the equations for their true values.
