Answer:
5 books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Monthly Charges of ABC club = 40$
Per book read charges of ABC club = 2$
amount of book read = x
Total charges of ABC club = 40 + 2x
Monthly Charges of Easy book club = 40$
Per book read charges of Easy Book club = 3$
Total charges of Easy book club = 35 + 3x
To calculate how many books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal,
Total charges of ABC club = Total charges of Easy book club
40 + 2x = 35 + 3x
40 - 35 = 3x -2x
5 = x
x = 5
Therefore, 5 books must be read in 1 month for the total charges from each club to be equal.
