• What was the cost of potatoes on Tuesday?

According to the question:

• 10 2/3 = The rate Manali bought the potatoes.

• 1 1/2 = The price of potatoes increased.

• Let us assume 'x' as new price.

Well, we can write 10 2/3 as 32/3 and 1 1/2 as 3/2.

Using formula:

• The rate potatoes brought (+) The price of potatoes increased.

⇒ x = 32/3 + 3/2
