Answers
If she could buy 80 books costing ₹90 that means she had ₹7200 (as 80*90 is 7200)
Publisher
Discount=20%
IE selling price = 80% * 90
= ₹72
So, if the price of 1 book is 72 then
No. of books she can buy= 7200/72
= 100 books
Thus, she can buy 100 maths books from the publisher
Hope it helps
Answer:
Thus, the number of mathematics books which she could buy from the publisher for the sanctioned money is 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The school librarian could buy 80 Mathematics books casting Rs.90 each from the local book seller.
Publisher offered her a 20% discount.
We need to find the number of copies of mathematics books which she could buy from the publisher for the sanctioned money?
Sol: The cost of a Mathematics book = Rs.90
The cost of 80 Mathematics books = 80*90
= Rs.7200
The Publisher Offered her discount = 20%
Then, the discount on each mathematics book
∴ After discount, the cost of each book = 90 - 18
= Rs.72
Therefore, the number of mathematics books which she could buy from the publisher for the sanctioned money is
n = Total Amount/Cost of each book
Thus, the number of mathematics books is 100.
