A book seller bought 50 copies of a book whose marked price was 275 per copy. How much did he pay for all the books if he was given a discount of 10 percent

Answer 1

The total cost of 50 copies of the book at the marked price of 275 per copy would be:

50 copies * $275 = $13,750

With a discount of 10 percent, the book seller would pay:

$13,750 - (0.10 * $13,750) = $13,750 - $1,375 = $12,375

So, the book seller paid $12,375 for all 50 copies of the book after the 10 percent discount.
