Let the cost of each book be x .
Let the number of books be n .
So x n = 60
= x = 60/n .
If cost is decreased by 1 :
x becomes x - 1
5 more books means n + 5
( x - 1 )( n + 5 ) = 60
Put x = 60/n
= ( 60/n - 1 )( n + 5 ) = 60
= 60 + 300/n - n - 5 = 60
= 300/n - n = 5
= 300 - n² = 5 n
= n² + 5 n - 300 n = 0
= n² + 20 n - 15 n - 300 n = 0
= n ( n + 20 ) - 15 ( n + 20 ) = 0
n = 15 , - 20
n cannot be -ve .
n = 15
x = 60/15
= x = 4
Hence number of books is 15 .
Cost of each book is 4.
