Question

reduction of 20% in the price of sugar enables a purchaser to obtain 2.5 kg more for rupees 160 find the original price per kg of sugar

Answer 1

Let the price per kg of sugar be x.
After reduction in price, price of sugar =
$x - (x \times \frac{20}{100} ) = 0.8x$
Given,
$\frac{160}{0.8x} = \frac{160}{x} + 2.5 \\ \frac{200}{x} = \frac{160}{x} + 2.5 \\ \frac{200}{x} - \frac{160}{x} = 2.5 \\ \frac{40}{x} = 2.5 \\ x = \frac{40}{2.5} = 16$
So, original price of sugar is Rs. 16/-
