Answer 1

10 rs was the original price

Answer 2

Answer:

Original Price of Sugar is Rs. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original Price of sugar be x

the original Quantity of sugar be y

According to the question,

xy = 160

$(x-\frac{20}{100}x)(y+4)=160$

$xy-\frac{20}{100}xy+4x-\frac{20\times4}{100}x=160$

$160-\frac{1}{5}\times160+4x-\frac{4}{5}x=160$

$-32+\frac{16x}{5}=0$

16x/5 = 32

x = 2 × 5

x = 10

Therefore, Original Price of Sugar is Rs. 10
