Answer: There are 10 books in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of books.

Since we have given that

Amount he paid for college textbooks = $450

Price of each book = $75

Number of books checked out for free = 4

So, Number of books which are not free would be

$\dfrac{450}{75}=6$

So, the total number of books would be

x = Number of books which are not free + Number of books which are free

$x=6+4=10$

Hence, there are 10 books in all.
