Question

a reduction of 20% in the price of sugar enables Namita to buy an extra 3 kg of it for rs. 360. find the original price and reduced price per kg.​

Answer 1

Answer:

actual price 150

reduced price 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price of sugar be Rs 100p.

Therefore, 20% reduction= 20% of Rs 100p=(20/100)x(100p)=20p

Reduced Price = Original Price - Reduction in Price=100p-20p=80p

Price of 3kg= Rs 360

Price of 1kg= 360/3= Rs 120

Reduced price=80p

or, p= 120/80= 1.5

Therefore, Initial price = 100p= 100x1.5= 150

Reduced Price= 80p= 80x1.5= 120
