Question

The cost of 15 metres of a cloth is Rs. 981. What length of this cloth can be purchased for Rs. 1308 ?

Answer 1

Let cloth bought = x m

Cloth in m : Cost :: Cloth : Cost

15 : Rs. 981 :: x : Rs. 1308

(more amount more cloth)

$\therefore x=\frac{1308\times 15}{981}=20$

$\therefore$ Cloth purchased = 20 m
