Question

A man buys a trouser in Rs.1250. By reduction of 20% in the price of trouser, he can purchase a t-shirt also in the same amount that was initially paid for the trouser. Find the price of the t-shirt?

Answer 1

Initial amount spent on trouser by the man $=Rs.$1250$

Now, by the reduction of $20\%$ in $1250$, he can buy t-shirt too.

$\Rightarrow$ t-shirt cost $=20\%$ of $1250=20\times \frac{1250}{100}=250$

Therefore, the price of the t-shirt $=$ Rs.$250$.
