Question

A shopkeeper has enough money to buy 52 bicycles costing ₹525 each. If the cost of
each bicycle increases by ₹21, then how many bicycles would he be able to buy for the
same amount?

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

The no. of cycles that shopkeeper can buy = 52. So, the total no. of cycles he has to buy = 27300÷546 = 50.

Answer 2

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of 52 bicycles at ₹525 = 52 x 525

                                                          = ₹27300

If the cost of bicycles increase by ₹21 cost of each bicycle = ₹546

No. of bicycles he can buy with ₹27300 at ₹546 = ₹27300/546

                                                                                    = 50

Verification -

50 x ₹546 =

₹27300

Hence, he can only buy 50 bicycles if the cost increases by ₹21 per bicycle
