Question

price of an article is increased by 25percent the increase in rupees 10. find the new price

Answer 1

Price of an article is increased by 25%

So let the price was x

Then, 125% of x - 100% of x = 10

125x/100 - 100x/100 = 10

5x/4 - x = 10

(5x-4x) / 4 = 10

x = 40

Old price was 40 and new price is (40+10) = 50.
