Question

Before lockdown 1 kilogram of onion and 4 kilograms of potato together cost Rs. 220. Due to lock down, the prices of potato and onion increase by 50% and 10% respectively. If the total cost of both potato and onion now is Rs. 266, find the original cost per kg of each."

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of 1kg onions -----------> 220/-

% increase in cost of onions = 10%

cost of onions after increasing the original price by 10%

= 10 × 220/100 = 22/- + 220

given total cost of potatoes and onions after increasing their prices = 266/-

=> 242 + cost of potatoes after incresing their original price by 50% = 266/-

=> cost of potatoes after increasing their price by 50% =

24/-
