Answer:
The cost of each book is $6.90.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lily spent $30 on a T-shirt a sandwich and two books the T-shirt cost $8.95 in the sandwich cost $7.25 the books each cost the same amount.
Now, to find the cost of each book.
Total amount Lily spent = $30.
Cost of T-shirt = $8.95.
Cost of sandwich = $7.25.
So, we get the amount after deducting the cost of T-shirt and sandwich from total amount spent:
[tex]30-(8.95+7.25)[/tex]
[tex]=30-16.20[/tex]
[tex]=\$13.80.[/tex]
The remaining amount = $13.80.
As, given the books each cost the same amount. And there are 2 books.
Now, to get the cost of each books by dividing the remaining amount by 2:
[tex]13.80\div 2[/tex]
[tex]=\$6.90.[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of each book is $6.90.
