    Weighted mean price of books is $ 1.50 per book

    Explanation:

    Sales Value

    Total books sold : 50 books

    Paperbacks sold : 40 books @ $ 1 per book $ 40

    Hardcovers sold 10 books @ $ 3.50 per book $ 35

    Total Sales value $ 75

    No of books sold 50 books

    To get the weighted mean price of books, we divide the total sales value by the number of books sold.

    $ 75 / 50 books = $ 1.50
