The bookstore marked some notepads down from $ 3.00 but still kept the price over $ 2.00. it sold all of them. the total amount of money from the sale of the pads was $ 27.95. how many notepads sold? what was the price of notepad?

The answer is 13. To figure this out I used 10 notebooks sold as a guide. I knew the answer could not be 10, because $27.95/10 was not a number stopping in the hundredths place (or a true money amount).

I tried numbers greater than 10 using a trial and error strategy until I got to 13 notebooks sold and found that it $27.95 was divisible by 13 to get an answer between $2 and $3 ($2.15 exactly).

X=14 hope it !

58 i think in 5 hours he makes $58
