→ Kevin bought two books from the market for Rs 360. He does not remember the price of the books but remembers that one cost Rs 40 more than the other. what is the cost of each book?
→ To Find:-
→ what is the cost of each book?
→ Solution:-
→ Price of book 1 = x
→ Price of book 2 = x + 40
→ Total price of the books = Rs 360 [ ∵ Given ]
⇒ x + ( x + 40 ) = 360
⇒ 2x = 360 - 40
⇒ 2x = 320
⇒ x = 160
⇒ Price of book 1 = 160
⇒ Rs 160 + 40
⇒ Rs 200
⇒ Price of book 1 = 160
⇒ Price of book 2 = Rs 200
