Hugh bought some magizines that cost 3.95 each and some books that cost 8.95 each. He spent a total of 47.65.If Hugh bought 3 magazines, how many books did he buy

4 books

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that: Hugh bought some magazines that cost 3.95 each

Hugh bought 3 magazines.

Hence, total cost of magazines = 3 magazines × 3.95

= 11.85.

Total cost of magazines = 11.85

From the question, we know that, the total amount Hugh spent = 47.65

Hence, The total cost for books =

Total amount spent - Total cost of magazines

= 47.65 - 11.85

= 35.80

Therefore, the total cost of books = 35.80

We are told in the question that the cost of books is 8.95 each or 8.95 per book.

Hence, the number of books that Hugh bought is calculated as :

35.80/8.95

= 4 books

Therefore, Hugh bought 4 books
