Question 7

Price of 1 kg of sugar is increased by 30% and the increase is of Rs 48. What is the new price (in Rs) of the sugar per kg?

Solution

Let original price of sugar = Rs. $$100x$$

Increase in price = 30%

=> New price = $$100x+(\frac{30}{100}\times100x)=Rs.$$ $$130x$$

According to ques,

=> $$100x+48=130x$$

=> $$130x-100x=30x=48$$

=> $$x=\frac{48}{30}=1.6$$

$$\therefore$$ New price = $$130\times1.6=Rs.$$ $$208$$

=> Ans - (C)
