a bookshop has three times as many magazines as books. there are 2244 magazines. what equation can you use to find how many books, b, there are ? how many books are there? how many books and magazines are there altogether? what equation can you use to find the answer?

Answer :

Let x be the number of books. Since the bookshop has three times as many magazines as books this means that we have the following number of books:

[tex]\frac{2244}{3}=x[/tex]

Therefore we have 748 books in the store.

The total number of magazines and books are:

[tex]x+2244[/tex]

Since, x=748, then we have:

[tex]x+2244=748+2244=2992[/tex]

Therefore, we have a total of 2992 magazines and books.

Let y be the equation to find both magazines and books, then:

[tex]y=748+2244[/tex]
