Answer:
4 books.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been that Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65.
The equation [tex]3.95m+8.95b=47.85[/tex] represents the given problem.
To find the number of books, b, bought by Hugh, we will substitute [tex]m=3[/tex] in our given equation.
[tex]3.95(3)+8.95b=47.65[/tex]
[tex]11.85+8.95b=47.65[/tex]
[tex]11.85-11.85+8.95b=47.65-11.85[/tex]
[tex]8.95b=35.8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8.95b}{8.95}=\frac{35.8}{8.95}[/tex]
[tex]b=4[/tex]
Therefore, Hugh can buy 4 books.
