Question

A women goes to market with Rs.500 to buy oranges.the prices of the oranges have decreased by 10% so he could buy 2kg more with the amount she had.What was the original price of the oranges ?

Answer 1

If the price of the oranges decreases by $10\%$, the woman would save $10\%$ of the money that is Rs.$50$ to buy the same amount as before.Now in Rs.$50$ she can buy $2$kg more, therefore the current price of $1$kg of oranges is Rs$25$.

Now, this current price is after $10\%$ reduction.

$\therefore$, the original price $=\frac{25}{0.9}=$ Rs.$27.77$
