I bought a new batch of books in a primary school library, and the numbers attached to the books ranged from 426 to 70 1. How many new books did the library buy?
70 1-426=275 (Ben) A library bought 275 new books (elementary school algorithm).
Suppose: a library bought X new books.
X+426=70 1
X=70 1-426
X=275 (Ben)
The library bought 275 new books.
