QUESTION ----- Ritesh bought 2 kg less onions in rupees 55 due to an increase in price of onions by 12percent. What was the increased price of onions per kg? Also find the original price of onions.
ANSWER
___________________________
Let the original weight he bought be x kg
Price of one kg of onion = 55 / x
New weight = (x - 2) kg
New price of one kg of onion = 55 / (x-2)
It is given that price increased by 12%
This implies that new price of one kg of onion = 112 / 100 of original price of one kg of onion
55 / (x-2) = 112 /100 × 55/x
=> 55 / (x-2) = 6160 / 100x
=> 55 × 100x = 6160 (x-2)
=> 5500x = 6160x - 12320
=> 5500x - 6160x = -12320
=> 660x = 12320
=> x = 12320 / 660
=> x = 18.66
______________________________
ANSWER =
ORIGINAL PRICE OF ONION = 55 / 18.66
= Rs. 2.94 OR Approx. Rs. 3
