Let m = magazines and b = books

The equation that models the problem is given as
3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65
Substitute 3 to m since we know he bought 3 magazines
11.85 + 8.95b = 47.65
8.95b = 35.8
b = 4
The final answer is 4 books.
He bought 4 books alongside buying 3 magazines, spending a total of $47.65.
