Answer 1

Answer: 13 .5/kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of sugar = Rs. x/kg

After reduction by Government, the price becomes = x - 10% of x = 9x/10 per kg

Now,

(837/(9x/10))-(837/x) = 6.2

or, (10(837)–9(837))/9x = 6.2

or, (8370–7533)/9x = 6.2

or, 837/9x = 6.2

or, 9x = 135

or, x = 15

So, the original price of sugar = Rs. 15/kg

Reduce price of sugar = 9x/10 = (9x15)/10 = 135/10

= Rs. 13.5/kg
