1) if twice as many copies were bought for same total price, the price per copy would be 1,75$2) if 4 fewer copies were bought for the samt total price, the price per copy would be$2.80 greater.

x=price per copy
n*x=31.5

1. 2n*1.75=31.5
n=9
suff.

2. (n-4)*(x+2.8)=31.5
now it is all about system of equations, you should solve it for n-the number of books bought.
suff.

so D for me
