Marks: +1, -0

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 + ( 30/100 × 100x) = Rs. 130x

According to ques,
⇒

100x + 48 = 130x

⇒

130x − 100x = 30x = 48

⇒

x =48 / 30 = 1.6

∴ New price =

130 × 1.6 = Rs. 208
