- We have to use the extra sugar concept.
10% of original price=25 kg of new sugar price.
(10/100)*225=25*new price(per kg)
new price=9/10=0.9;
So original price=1. - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Let the original price be x. Then Original quantity = 225x
New price = 90%(x) (if a number reduced by 10% it becomes 90% of the original number)
New quantity = 2250.9x
Equating 2250.9x−225x=25
⇒x=Rs.1 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
