  • a reduction of 15% in price of sugar enables a man to buy 1 kg sugar more for rs 85.find the original rate per kg and the reduced rate per kg ?

  • Answer:

    If you are saying buy 1kg of sugar for 85rs (whatever currency that is), then you can do a math equation.. 85rs is 85% of the original price (100 - 15%) which we don't know, so let "x" be original price, then: 85rs = (0.85)x divide by 0.85 and you get x = 100rs is original rate per kg To find how much the rate is reduced, take old price - new price, = 100 - 85 = 15rs
