The Lakewood library has $8,040 to buy science magazines. If each magazine costs $3, how many magazines will the library be able to buy?

Let number of magazines be m. We know that:
Cost per magazine * m = Total Cost

We're given Total Cost = 8040 and Cost per magazine = 3, so we have
3m = 8040

To solve this equation for m, we type it in our math engine and we get:
m = 2680
