Question

The ratio of the prices of two books is 2:5. If the price of the first book is 32.50, let's find the price of the other book.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the price of the 2nd book is Rs x

then,

32.50 : x=2 : 5

=> 32.50/x=2/5

=> 2x=5×32.50

=> x=5×32.50/2

=> x=5×16.25 =81.25

so the price of the other book is Rs 81 .25
