By a reduction of 1 per kg in the sugar price ,mahan can buy 1 kg more for56. find the original price on 1 kg

Answers (1)

Assume the bus x kg sugar at the original price $ y per kg.

ATq

xy = 56

x = 56/y

( x+1)(y-1) = 56 

(56/y +1)(y-1) = 56

(56+y)(y-1) = 56 y 

56 y + y2 - 56 -y = 56y 

 y2 -y - 56 = 0

y2 -8y +7y - 56 = 0

y(y-8) + 7(y-8)= 0

(y-8)(y+7) =0

y = -7 (not possible )

Hence the original price of the sugar is y = $ 8 per kg
