b.original price per kg weight of lemons​

Answer 1

The original price  per kg weight of lemons is 40 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Use the formula:

Original price = $\frac{x\times A}{(100-x)M}$

Where x is the Reduction percentage, A is the amount and M is the extra purchased weight.

A reduction of 25% in the price of lemon would enable a purchaser to get 2 kg weight lemons more for rupees 240.

Thus, x = 25%, A = 240 and M = 2.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

Original price = $\frac{25\times 240}{(100-25)2}$

Original price = $\frac{25\times 120}{75}$

Original price = 40

Hence, the original price  per kg weight of lemons is 40 rupees.
