Question

If the price of a book is reduces by Rs. 5 ,a person can buy 4 more books for Rs. 600 find the original price of book

Answer 1

Let's assume, original price = X

Reduced by 5 comes to X-5

Now, at price (X-5), he can buy 6 books and spend entire 300 he had.

The equation becomes -

(X-5) *6 =300

X-5= 300/6

X=50+5

Original price is 55
