Answer 2

Answer:

The initial price of rice = Rs 100 / kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price of rice = Rs x /kg ;

The price of rice is increased at 20 %.

The increased price of rice per kg = $\frac{600}{5}$ = Rs 120 /kg.

⇒ Rs 120 = $\frac{20}{100} *x + x$

⇒Rs 120 = 0.2 x + x

⇒1.2 x =  Rs 120

⇒ x = 100

∴ The initial price of rice = Rs 100 / kg
