Reduction of 25% in the price of sugar enables a person to buy 5kg more for Rs 120. Find the original and reduced price of sugar? |
|
Answer» LET's say the price of 1KG of sugar be x so number of KGS of sugar bought are 120/x. When reduction happens, price falls to 0.75 per kg. sugar bought in kgs is 160/x. DIFFERENCE in sugars bought in both cases specified is 160/x-120/x=40/x which is equal to 5. x=8 hence original price of 1 kg of sugar is ₹8. REDUCED price of 1 kg of sugar is ₹6. |
