Question

Agriculture department supplied potato seeds to farmers at a subsidy of 60%. If one kg of potato
seeds costs Rs.3 for a farmer, calculate the price of potato seeds per kg in the open market without
subsidy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total subsidy = 60%

total non subsidy = [100- 60] =40%

Let the price of 1 kg of potato be rs. x

therefore , 40% of rs. x = rs.3

40/100 X rs.x = 3

40x = 3 X 100

x = 3X 100/40= rs 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so the price of potato per kg in the open market without subsidy is Rs. 7.5 /-
