Question

A student spent less than $26 on a binder and 5
composition books. The binder cost $4. What is the
maximum cost of each composition book?
Let c be the cost of each composition book.

Answer 1

22/5=4.4
26>c is less or equal to 4.39

Answer 2

Answer:

$4.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

My equation is:

5c+$4=26

To solve I do:

$26-$4=$22

$22 is the total amount of the composition books.

$22 ÷ 5 = $4.20

The maximum cost of each composition book is $4.20.
