A piece of cloth cost Rs 35. if the length of the piece would have been 4m longer and each meter cost Re 1 less , the cost would have remained unchanged. how long is the piece?

Read Solution (Total 1)

If length of piece is x and cost per mtr is C, then

x*C = 35 or C =35/x
(x+4)*(C-1) = 35 or x*C +4C-x -4 =35 or 35+4C-x -4 = 35
4C-x =4
4*(35/x)-x =4

x= 10 mtrs
