Question

the cost of tomato was rs 30.it got raised to rs 150 during flood.what is the increased percent

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The increased in the onion price over last year = 20%

Formula Used

Percentage = (Actual/Total) × 100

Calculation

Cost of the Tomato last year = Rs. 10

So, Cost of the Tomato this year = 10 + 20% of 10 = Rs. (10 + 2) = Rs. 12

Cost of the Potato last year = Rs. 5

Let the cost of Potato this year be x

Therefore, cost of 5 Potato and 3 Tomato this year = 5x + (3 × 12) = 5x + 36 ----(i)

Cost of 5 Potato and 3 Tomato last year = ((5 × 5) + (3 × 10)) = 55 ----(ii)

This year the cost is Rs. 11 more

From (i) and (ii), we get

⇒ 5x + 36 = 55 + 11

⇒ 5x = (66 – 36)

⇒ x = 6

Increase in the cost of Potato = (6 – 5) = Rs. 1

Percentage increase = 1/5 × 100 = 20%

∴ The required answer is 20%

Answer 2

The increase in the cost of tomatoes is 400 %.

Given:

Cost of Tomato = ₹ 30

Raised Cost of Tomato = ₹ 150

To Find:

Increased Percentage of cost of tomato.

Solution:

For the increased percentage of the cost of tomatoes,

Firstly, the increased cost is,

                                  $= 150-30\\=120$

Hence the increased cost of tomatoes is ₹ 120.

Now, for the percentage increase, the increase should be divided by the cost and be multiplied by 100.

So,

                                 $= \cfrac{120}{30}*100\\=\cfrac{120}{3}*10\\= 40*10\\= 400~\%$

Hence the increase in the cost is 400 %.
