Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent by him at convenience store = $x

amount spent by him at book store = $4x

total amount spent by him at both store = $27.50

according to the question

x+4x = 27.50

5x = 27.50

x = 27.50 /5

x = 2750/(5×100)

x = 2750/500

x = $5.5

hence, the amount mike spent at the convenience store is $5.5
