Question

The ratio between the prices of a scooter and a refrigerator is $4:1$. If the scooter costs $Rs45,000$ more than the refrigerator, find the price of the refrigerator.

Answer 1

It is given that
Ratio between the prices of a scooter and a refrigerator $=4:1$
Cost of scooter $=₹45,000$
Consider the cost of scooter $=4x$
Cost of refrigerator $=1x$
Using the conditionCost of scooter > Cost of refrigerator
$4x–x=45000$
On further calculation $3x=45000$
So we get $x=\frac{45000}{3}=₹15000$
So the price of refrigerator $=₹15000$
