The amount he spent at the convenience store can be represented by x.He spent four times more at the bookstore than he did at the convenience store.Mike spent a total of $27.50 at both stores.What is x,the amount Mike spent at the convenience store?

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount spent by him at convenience store = $x
amount spent by him at book store = $4x
total amount spent by him at both store = $27.50
according to the question
x+4x = 27.50
5x = 27.50
x = 27.50 /5
x = 2750/(5×100)
x = 2750/500
x = $5.5
hence, the amount mike spent at the convenience store is $5.5
