Hey bookshop is three times as many magazines as books there are 2244 magazines what equation can you use to find how many books there are

3 m = 2244  :   m =  number of books in bookshop

Above equation can be used to find the number of books in the bookshop.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume, the number of books in the bookshop = m

So, the number of magazines   = 3 x (number of books)

                                                    = 3 x (m)  = 3 m

Also, total number of magazines in the bookshop = 2244

⇒  3 m = 2244

Hence, the above equation can be used to find the number of books in the bookshop.

Now, 3 m = 2244   ⇒ m = 2244/ 3 = 748

or, the number of books in the bookshop  = 748.
