20/297.20
OpenStudy (vlery):
the equation would look like 20c=297.20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you sure? you kind of got that backwards....
OpenStudy (igreen):
You can use the equation 20b = 297.2
Because b is the books, and you have 20.
And the total cost is 297.2.
OpenStudy (igreen):
And you divided that wrong. @PatrickWeeWoos It should be the other way around.
