Ivan ordered some books online and spent a total of $97 each book cost $7 and he paid a total of $6 for shipping how many books did he buy

Answer 1

Let's use the variable x to represent the number of books he bought.

Since each book cost $7 and shipping was $6, we can write the following equation to represent the problem:

7x + 6 = 97

We can solve this equation using inverse operations:

7x + 6 = 97

7x + 6 - 6= 97 - 6

7x = 91

7x/7 = 91/7

x = 13

He bought 13 books.
