John bought ten books at the same price. The total cost of the books was $242. He gave two books to his friend. What was the value of the books that he gave to his friend?

Respuesta :

first you divide...

242 divided by 10 equals 24.2

so each book cost $24.20

then you take 24.2 and times it by 2

24.2 times 2 equals 48.4

so the 2 books he gave to his friend cost $48.40
