Answer 1

At half price, four books that originally cost £8.99 would cost a total of £18.00. The price of one book at half price would be £0.87. If you want the original price per book before the discount, it would be £2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question at hand involves a calculation of the cost of books at a discounted price and determining the individual book price. When the books are at half price, that means the new price is 50% of the original price. So, for 4 books that originally cost £8.99, you would pay half that amount when buying them on sale.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

1. Find the sale price for 4 books: Half of £8.99 is £4.495 (rounded to £4.50 for convenience).
2. Since the sale is for half price, the cost for 4 books would be 4 x £4.50 = £18.00.
3. To find the price of one book at half price, divide the total cost for one book (£4.50) by the number of books (4), which equals £0.87 per book at half price.

It is important to note that if a single book's original price is needed, we would calculate the individual price before the discount. This is done by dividing the original total cost (£8.99) by the number of books (4), which results in £2.2475 or £2.25 when rounded.
