Question

The combined cost price of refrigerators and mixer is rs 12400 If the refrigerator cost 600% more than mixer find the cost price of mixer

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of both =12400

Let the cost of the mixture be x so, the cost of the refrigerator will be 12400 - x

Given that the refrigerator costs 600% more than the mixture so,

=>12400 - x = x + (600/100 * x)

=>12400 - x = x + (6x)

=>12400 - x = 7x

=>12400 = 7x + x

=>12400 = 8x

=>12400/8 = x

=> x = 1550

Therefore , the mixture costs Rs.1550 .
