Third price= x - 40

And then so on still tenth price, x - 60, x- 80, x- 100, x - 120, x-140, X-160, x-180,x-200

=x+x-20+x-40+x-60+x-80+x-100+x-120+x-140+x-160+x-180=1600

=10x-900=1600

10x=1600+900

10x=2500

X=250rs

First price=x=250rs

Second price=x-20=230rs

Third price=x-40=210rs

Fourth price=x-60=190rs

Fifth price=x-80=170rs

Sixth price=x-100=150rs

Seventh price=x-120=130rs

Eigth price=x-140=110rs

Nineth price=x-160=90rs

Tenth price=x-180=70rs
