Tirupati sells a calculator to Ashok. Ashok offered him a sum of money for which he refused as being 13% below the value of the calculator. Ashok then offered him Rs 45 more and the second offer was 5% more than the estimated value. What is the value of the calculator?1). Rs 1852). Rs 2303). Rs 2504). Rs 450

Answer»

Let the value of the CALCULATOR be ‘x’, then according to the question,

105% of x – 87% of x = 45

$(\RIGHTARROW x \times \frac{{105}}{{100}} - x \times \frac{{87}}{{100}} = 45)$ 

⇒ x × (18/100) = 45

⇒ x = (45 × 100)/18 = RS 250.

Hence, the REQUIRED value of the calculator is Rs 250.
