Answer 1

✬ Cost = Rs 350 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Cost price of bas last year was Rs 275.
• Now this year cost of bag increased by Rs 75.

To Find:

• What is the cost of bas in present year ?

Solution: It's a simple problem of addition. Let's assume that the cost of bag now is Rs x.

• To get the value of x or current cost of bag we have to add the increased price in to the initial price of bag.

• Initial price = Rs 275

• Increased price = Rs 75

➟ Present cost of bag = (Initial + Increased) cost

➟ x = Rs (275 + 75)

➟ x = Rs 350

Hence, we got the present cost of bag i.e Rs 350.

• If in some other question the cost of material will decrease by any amount than the initial cost then in that case we need to subtract decreased amount from the initial amount.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• The price of a school bag was Rs 275. Last year . The cost of the bag this year is Rs 75 more than previous year.

To Find :-

• Find the cost of the bag in the present year.

Solution :-

Given :

• Initial price of a school bag = Rs 275
• Increase price of a school bag = Rs 75

Then,

$\clubsuit$ Present cost of bag :

$\longmapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Present\: cost\: of\: bag =\: Initial\: Price +\: Increase\: Price}}}$

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\implies \sf Present\: cost\: of\: bag =\: Rs\: 275\: +\: Rs\: 75$

$\implies \sf Present\: cost\: of\: bag =\: Rs(275 + 75)$

$\implies \sf\bold{\red{Present\: cost\: of\: bag =\: Rs\: 350}}$

$\therefore$ The present cost of bag is Rs 350 .
