    You have to plug in the numbers.

    So first let's plug in 13. 7*13+8=99

    Now 15. 7*15+8=113

    Now 18. 7*18+8=134

    Lastly 20. 7*20+8=148

    The answer is 13.

    You have $100 but the shipping is $8 so you subtract that from $100 and get $92, At $7 dollers a book you can get 13 books before going over 7x13=91. So the answer is 13 and you will spend $99 total.
