each book costs $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Nicolas gave the cashier $30 and she gave him $3 back,apparently 3books equals $30-$3=$27
so since we do not know the price of each we say 1 book equals x for 3books is 3X.
since since 3books=27 we say 3X=27 .
divide through by 3 to give us 9.
each book equals $9
