Answer:

The customer should pay RS 506 for a novel book costing RS 450.

Explanation:

We are given that

Selling price of calculator, S.P=RS 756

Cost of calculator, C.P=RS 700

We have to find S.P of novel book when the cost of novel book RS 450.

Profit=S.P-C.P

Profit=756-700

Profit=RS 56

Profit of each item is equal.

Therefore, profit for novel book=RS 56

C.P of novel book=RS 450

S.P=C.P+ Profit

Using the formula

S.P=450+56

S.P=RS 506

Hence, the customer should pay RS 506 for a novel book costing RS 450.
