To find how much would be paid for 3 books, follow the steps below.
Step 01: Find the price of one book.
Let's say the price of one book is x.
Then, the price of 7 books is 7 times x, which is 56 rupes.
[tex]7x=56[/tex]To find x, let's divide both sides by 7:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7x}{7}=\frac{56}{7} \\ 1x=8 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the price of one book is 8.
Step 02: Find the price of 3 books.
If the price of one book is 8, the price of 3 books (P) will be 3 times 8:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=3\cdot8 \\ P=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: It would be paid 24 rupees for 3 books.
