Answer 2

Answer:

Initial price of the sack of rice was Rs. $350$.

∴ Option (d) $350$ ₹ is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : % increase in price of the rice = $4$%

           Cost of one sack of rice = Rs. $364$

To find : Initial price of the sack of rice ?

Solution :

• It is given that the % increase in price of the rice = $4$%

           Cost of one sack of rice = Rs. $364$

• We have to find the initial price of the sack of rice.
• Let, $x$ be the initial price of the sack of rice.
• According to given data, the equation becomes,

             $x+4$% of $x=364$

            ∴ $x+\frac{4}{100} *x=364$

                ∴ $\frac{100x+4x}{100} =364$  

                     ∴ $104x=364*100$

                     ∴ $104x=36400$

                         ∴ $x=\frac{36400}{104}$

                         ∴ $x=350$

• ∴ Initial price of the sack of rice was Rs. $350$.
• ∴ Option (d) $350$ ₹ is correct.
