Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 5 is the answer

Step by Step Explanation:

Since we have given that

On 10% reduction in the price of sugar, a consumer buys 6.2 kg more at Rs. 279.

So, Paying capacity = Rs.279

Quantity purchased = 6.2 kg

Reduction rate = 10%

So, According to question,

$original \: price \: = \frac{paying \: capacity}{quantity} \times \frac{x}{100 - x}$

$original \: price \: = \frac{279}{6.2} \times \frac{10}{90}$

original price = ₹5

Hence, original price of sugar is Rs.5.
