Question

the price of diesel is rs 55 per litre. if increased by 15%. find what is the new price of diesel per litre. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 63.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Price, x = Rs. 55 /- Liter

Increment (in %) = 15%

Increase in Price (in Rs.) = 15% of 55

= (15*55)/100

= 33/4

= Rs. 8.25

Hence, the new price of diesel per liter is Rs. 55 + Rs. 8.25 = Rs. 63.25

Alternative:

Given Price, x = Rs. 55 /- Liter

Increment (in %) = 15%

So, New price = x + 15% of x

= 55 + (15)(55)/100

= 55 + 8.25

= Rs. 63.25
