Question from Shavon: if i bought 3 books for $\$150.00$ and 1 of the books cost 50% more than both other books combined what's the price of the more expensive book? |
Hi,
I can help get you started.
Suppose $s$ is the total cost of the two inexpensive books. What does the third book cost?
Solve for $s.$
Write back if you need more assistance,
