Rate reduced by 6.25%,
So amuount Rs 120 reduced by
= (6.25/100) * 120 = 7.5
So in Rs 7.5 extra sugar obtained is 1 kg i.e. new rate is Rs. 7.5 per kg
Thus original rate = [7.5 / (100 – 6.25)]/100
= 7.5 / 0.9375 = Rs. 8
So amuount Rs 120 reduced by
= (6.25/100) * 120 = 7.5
So in Rs 7.5 extra sugar obtained is 1 kg i.e. new rate is Rs. 7.5 per kg
Thus original rate = [7.5 / (100 – 6.25)]/100
= 7.5 / 0.9375 = Rs. 8
