Question

The price of onion was Rs 50 per kg. Now, its price has increased by 9%. What is the increased price of onion?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

old price = Rs 50 per kg

increase in price = 9% of old price

new price = 9% of old price + old price

= 9/100 x 50 + 50

$= \frac{9}{2} + 50 \\ = 4.5 + 50 \\ = 54.5$

new price = rs 54.5
