Question

A 10% hike in the price of wheat forces a person to purchase 2 kg less for Rs 110. Find the original price of the wheat.​ Please provide step by step solution for why doing that step

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price= x

Quantity= 110/x

Increased price= x×110/100= 11x/10

Quantity= 110/(11x/10)= 100/x

110/x-100/x= 2

2x= 10

x= 5

ORUGINAL PRICE Rs.5/Kg

INCREASED PRICE= 5×11/10= 11/2= Rs.5.50/Kg
