Answer 1

Answer:

price of one book -75

total books purchased -75

5625 ruppes

Answer 2

The school bought 150 books costing Rs. 40 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be spent on books = Rs. 6,000

So if the price of each book is Rs. 40, then number of books purchased will be 6000/40 = 150 books.

If the price of each book is Rs. 50, then number of books purchased will be 6000/50 = 120 books.

If the price of each book is Rs. 75, then number of books purchased will be 6000/75 = 80 books.

The options given in the number of books are 150, 100 and 75 only.

So the possible price of book will be the one corresponding to the 150 books option, which is Rs. 40 each.
