Answer:
The original price of papaya per kg is Rs. 30.
The new price of papaya per kg is Rs. 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of the rice be Rs. x / kg
After 30% of reduction, the new price of the rice is Rs. (70/100)x / kg
Now from the question we can write,
{Price / (new price per kg)} - {Price / (original price per kg)} = 3
{210/(70/100)x} – {210/x} = 3
Or, (21000/70x) – (210/x) = 3
Or, (21000 – 14700) / 70x = 3
Or, 6300 / 70x = 3
Or, x = 6300 / (70 * 3)
Or, x = Rs. 30/kg
∴ New price = 70x / 100 = (70 * 30) / 100 = Rs. 21/kg

- 30 rupees is the original price of 1 kg (for fruit papaya).
- Now 21 rupees is the new price of papaya for 1 kg.
- Let x be the OP.
If 30% is reduced then the new amount will be rupees ...................
= 210/70/100x – 210/x = 3
=> 21000/70x – 210/x = 3
=> 21000 – 14700 / 70x = 3
Hence, New price is rupees 21,for the papaya.
