25%, then find the number of bicycle he can purchase with the same sum ?

Answer 1

Given investment = Rs 20,000 Price of bicycle = Rs 800 Price of bicycle increases by 25% 25% of Rs 800 = (25/100) × 800 = Rs 200 New price of bicycle = Rs 800 + Rs 200 = Rs 1000 Number of bicycles that can be purchased = 20000/1000 = 20

A bicycle dealer has Rs 60000 to invest, when a bicycle is available for Rs 1000. If the price of a bicycle increases by 25%, then find the number of bicycle he can purchase with the same sum ?

$\large\underline{\underline\mathtt\blue{SOLUTION}}$

GIVEN

• Total investment = 60,000.
• Initial price of bicycle = 1000.
• Price of bicycle increases by 25%.

TO FIND

• Number of bicycle which can be purchased by the sum.

We know that

Price of bicycle increases by 25%.

$\bold{\implies \frac{25}{100}×1000}$

$\bold{\implies 250}$

New price of bicycle will be ;

$\bold{\implies 1000+250}$

$\bold{\implies 1250}$

$\bold{\therefore New\:price\:of\:bicycle=1250}$

No. of bicycles that can be purchased

$\bold{\implies \frac{60,000}{1250}}$

$\bold{\implies 48}$
