Original price of Tomato = 12.5 Rs /kg & Reduced price = 10 Rs /kg if reduction of 20% in price enable customer to buy 2 kg more for Rs 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say Original Price of tomato = T Rs/ kg
Tomato he can bought in Rs 100 = 100/T kg
A reduction of 20% in the price of tomato
=> Reduced price of Tomato = T - (20/100)T = 0.8T Rs/kg
Tomato he can bought in Rs 100 = 100/(0.8T) = 125/T kg
125/T - 100/T = 2
=> 25/T = 2
=> T = 25/2
=> T = 12.5
Original price of Tomato = 12.5 Rs /kg
Reduced price= 0.8 * 12.5 = 10 Rs /kg
