Spores of a fungus, called late blight, grow and spread infection rapidly. These pathogens were responsible for the Irish potato famine of the mid-19th century. These seem to have attacked the tomato crops in England this year. The tomato crops have reduced and the price of the crop has risen up . The price has already gone up to $45 a box from $27 a box a month ago. How much more would a vegetable vendor need to pay to buy 27 boxes this month over what he would have paid last month?
a) $27
b) $ 18
c) $45
d) $ 486

• 27 boxes cost on last month=27*27=729,
  27 boxes cost after price increased = 45*27 = 1215,
  vegetable vendor need to pay to buy 27 boxes this month = 1215-729=$486

• Inspite of these so much calculation
  45*27-27*27 (cost of new 27 boxes -old prices)
  27*18=486
