Here let the books you brought be x.
And now price. Be y
Then the new price is 2
So the books you got were just 20 more
That means

2(x+20)=480
But we know xy=480 so

2(x+20)=xy
You can further solve for x

Like
2x + 40 = 480
2x= 440
x=220
And y like
xy=480
y=480/220

That would be 2.181 (appropriate)
