Question

If the cost of apples decreases by Rs 120 in the ratio 3:4. What is the new price of apples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let him initially buy x kg for 240/-. Now he can buy (x+2) kg.

This means that the quantity that could be bought for Rs.240/- can now be bought for Rs.240×85%=Rs.204/-.

The difference of Rs.36/- represents the 2 kg. extra that could be purchased.

Hence the new price per kg of apple is Rs.18/-
