Answer 2

The owner buys used books for $1.50 each and resells them for 400% of what he paid for them, which is the same as saying he multiplies the purchase price by 4.

So, the selling price of each used book is:

4 x $1.50 = $6.00

Therefore, the price of a used book in this bookstore is $6.00.

The answer is (J) $6.00.
