Question

A shopkeeper has enough money to buy 52 books worth R.s 525 each. If each book to cost R.s 21 more how many books would he be able to buy with that money

Answer 1

Total money the shopkeeper can spend =525×52
The new cost of each book= 546
Let the no. of books he can buy = x
solving for x,
52×525=x(546)
>x=52×525/546
>x=50
so the shopkeeper can purchase 50 books at Rs.546 each
