Question

A man bought x books at $5 each. How much money did he pay in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

$5x pls mention x in the question

Answer 2

Answer:

5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The five is the price of the books. The x is how many books. Because they do not give you the total amount of books, you have to say that he paid $5x. That means that however many books he bought, multiply that by 5, and you get the amount that he paid. If they told you that he had bought 6 books, you’d know that it is $30. But like I said, since it doesn’t say how much, it was simply 5x.
