Dan spent $32 buying a new backpack, 1 pack of pens, 1 pack of pencils and 5 multi-subject notebooks for school. If the backpack costs $15 and both the pens and pencils cost $1.00 each, how much did each notebook cost?
Let's be accurate as possible and think first.

The pens and pencils were $1.

00 each so 2 * 1 = $2.

00.

The back pack cost $15 and the pens / pencils cost $2.

00 so 15 + 2 = $17.

00.

His total spent was $32 and he has already spend $17 so 32 - 17 = $15.

00.

That means he has $15 left to spend on 5 notebooks so the cost would be 15 / 5 = $3.

00 each.

The final answer: 3
