Mario spent $23.85 at the bookstore on one book and some magazines. The book cost $12.60 and the magazines cost $2.25 each. How many magazines did Mario buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mario brought 5 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

If you just add $12.60 and $2.25 together then keep adding $2.25 until you get to $23.85, you'll get your answer.

So like,  

(1) 12.60 + 2.25 = 14.85

(2) 14.85 + 2.25 = 17.1

(3) 17.1 + 2.25 = 19.35

(4) 19.35 + 2.25 = 21.6

(5) 21.6 + 2.25 = 23.85  

So the total would be 5. Mario bought 5 magazines.
