Answer»

LET the ORIGINAL price of the rice per kilograms = Rs. x.

The price of rice is REDUCED by 25%.

After reduction, the price of rice per kilograms = Rs. x × (75/100) = Rs. 3x/4

Now we can write,

54/(3x/4) = (54/x) + 0.750

⇒ (216/3x) – (54/x) = 0.750

⇒ 216 – 162 = 2.25x

⇒ x = 54/2.25

⇒ x = 24

∴ The original price of the rice per kilograms = Rs. 24
