Question

If the price of an article is increased by $25\%$, then increase is $Rs.10$. Find the new price.

Answer 1

Let the original price of the article is Rs. $x$.

Then the increase is $\frac{25x}{100}=\frac{x}{4}$.

According to the problem,

$\frac{x}{4}=10$

or, $x=40$.

So the new price (increased price ) is $\frac{125}{100}\times 40=50$
