Let the number of books be 'x' and price of each book be 'y'
x*y = 80
4 more books (x+4) for same amount, but each book one rupee less (y-1)
(x+4)*(y-1) = 80
on solving above two equations x = 16, y = 4
x*y = 80
4 more books (x+4) for same amount, but each book one rupee less (y-1)
(x+4)*(y-1) = 80
