The DogHound book company is shipping a load of books to a library in Minnesota. If each student takes 4 books from the load, there will be 20 books left. If 3 students don’t take books, and all the other students take 5 books each, then there won’t be any books left. How many books are there in the load?
Answer
- 160 books-20 books=140/4 books for each student=35 students
35 students-3 students that didn’t read=32 160/32=5 books for each student
