Question

Due to reduction in price by 33.33% a man gets 25 apples extra. If he spends ₹75 find the reduced price per apple

Answer 1

Answer: 1 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the initial price of one apple

Thus, if total spending = 75 rupees,

⇒ The initial number of apples = $\frac{75}{x}$

After reducing the price by 33.33% or 1/3,

New price of one apple = Initial price - 1/3 of the initial price

= x - 1/3 x

= 2/3 x

Hence, the new number of apples = $\frac{75}{2x/3}$

= $\frac{225}{2x}$

According to the question,

$\frac{225}{2x}-\frac{75}{x}=25$

$\frac{225}{2x}-\frac{150}{2x}=25$

$\frac{225-150}{2x}=25$

$\frac{75}{2x}=25$

$\frac{3}{2}=x$

$\implies x = 1.5$

Hence, the reduced price = 2/3 of 1.5 = 1 rupees
