Question

A person has money to buy 25 cycles worth Rs. 500 each. How many cycles he will be able to buy if each cycle is costing Rs. 125 more?

Answer 1

Let the number of cycles be x

Increased cost of one cycles is = 500 + 125 = Rs 625

Cost(Rs)	500	625
NUmber of cycles	25	x

500 x 25 = 625 x x

x = \(\frac{500\times 25}{625}\) = 20

x = 20

Therefore the number of cycles is 20
