Let's solve the equation, 15b = 60, to find the number of books Sarah can purchase.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 15 gives us b = 4.
Therefore, Sarah can purchase 4 books.
So, the answer is B.

Apologies for the confusion. You are right, my previous response contains an error.
To calculate the number of books Sarah can purchase, we need to divide the total saved amount by the cost per book.
So, the correct equation is B: 15b = 60.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 15 gives us:
b = 60 / 15
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us:
b = 4
Therefore, Sarah can purchase 4 books with her $60.
I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. The correct answer is B.
