Question

If the price of an article is increased by 25%, The increase is Rs. 10. Find a new price.

Answer 1

Let the price of an article = Rs. 100

Increase = 25%

∴Increase = Rs. 25

If an increased price = Rs. 100 + 25 = Rs. 125

If increase is Rs. 25 then new price = Rs. 125

and if increase is Rs. 10, then new price = Rs. `(125 xx 10)/25`

= Rs. 50
