the price per book at Book Store A.

Answer 1

To find the price per book at each bookstore:

Book Store A: Total cost = $393.75 for 25 books.

Price per book at Book Store A = Total cost / Number of books
Price per book at Book Store A = $393.75 / 25 = $15.75

Book Store B: The equation given is y = 5.25x, where y is the total cost and x is the number of books.

Price per book at Book Store B = $5.25 (since the cost is directly given per book in the equation).

Now we can complete the sentences based on the calculated prices:

Part A
The price per book at Book Store A is higher.

Part B
The price per book at Book Store B is lower than the price per book at Book Store A.
