The price of this more expensive book was $90.00 ($150 - $60) based on the date acquired from the question above. This problem can be solved using a simple algebra equation which consisted of one variable. The equation is stated as $150 = x + 1.5x (x = $150/2.5 = $60) where x is the price of the cheaper book and 1.5x is the price of the more expensive books because it has 50% higher price than the cheaper book.
