The shopkeeper can buy 50 books if he gets a discount of 25 rupees on each book.

Given:

The shopkeeper has money to buy “40 books”.

The cost of each book is Rs. 125

Solution:

Let’s first calculate the amount of money, the shopkeeper has.

Total money the shopkeeper has $=40 \times 125=5000\ rupees$

The shopkeeper gets a discount of rupees 25 on each book.

Therefore, Cost of one book after discount = 100 rupees.

Therefore, the number of books he can buy is $=\frac{5000}{100}=50$.
