Let me give a try :lol:
3 files = 2 books
6 files = 4 books

5 books (Draw a model of 5 units - take as 1 whole unit) + 6 files (Draw a model of 6 units - take as 1 whole unit) - $171
Therefore,
5 books, 1 whole unit = $171
5 books + 4 books = $171
9 books = $171

Therefore, the cost of 1 book is $171 / 9 = $19
5 books = 5 x $19 = $95

Sorry, I am very computer-retarded so I unable to draw out the model. Perhaps some other experts can assist you :imanangel:
