Question

Raghu has enough money to buy 75 machines worth Rs. 200 each. How many machines can he buy if he gets a discount of Rs. 50 on each machine?

Answer 1

Let the number of machines be x.

Decreased cost of one machines is = 200 - 50 = Rs 150

Cost(Rs)	200	150
Number of Machines	75	x

200 x 75 = 150 x x

x = \(\frac{200\times 75}{150}\) = 100

x = 100

Therefore the number of machines is 100.
