Answer» Let the original weight he bought be x kgPrice of one kg of onion = 55 / xNew weight = (x - 2) kgNew price of one kg of onion = 55 / (x-2)It is given that price increased by 12% This implies that new price of one kg of onion = 112 / 100 of original price of one kg of onion55 / (x-2) = 112 /100 × 55/x=> 55 / (x-2) = 6160 / 100x=> 55 × 100x = 6160 (x-2)=> 5500x = 6160x - 12320=> 5500x - 6160x = -12320=> 660x = 12320=> x = 12320 / 660=> x = 18.66
