Vedclass · Answer

Discount $\%$ in initial cost of sugar $=5 \%$

Now to keep $Rs.$ $608$ price constant,

$\%$ increase in initial consumption

$=\left(\frac{5}{100-5}ight) 	imes 100 \%=\frac{100}{19} \%$

Here, $=\frac{100}{19} \%$ is increase in consumption,

$So , \quad\left(\frac{100}{19} \%=2 kg ight)$

So initial consumption i.e. $(100 \%)$

$=(19 	imes 2)=38 kg$

Initial $SP$ of Sugar $=$ $Rs.$ $\frac{608}{38}=$ $Rs.$ $16 / kg$

With a $5 \%$ discount on the cost of sugar, a buyer could purchase $2\, kg$ more sugar for $Rs.$ $608 .$ Selling price of sugar is? (in $Rs$)
