Problema Solution
Carter had already read 15 books this year before joining a book club,and he plans to read 1 book every month now that he has joined. If Carter has read 38 books so far,how many months ha she been with his book club?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'm' represent the number of months that Carter has been in the club
since he reads 1 book per month since joining the club he will have read: 1*m = m books during the time the club
we know the total number of books read is 38 and this means the 15 books read before joining the club plus the books read in the club totals 38:
15 + m = 38
by solving we find:
m = 23 months
