Question 31
Some capsules were bought for Rs. 176. If the price of each capsule had been Rs. 3 less, 6 more capsules would have been bought for the same amount. What was the number of capsules bought ?
Solution
Let capsules bought = $$x$$
Acc. to ques,
=> $$\frac{176}{x} - \frac{176}{x + 6} = 3$$
=> $$\frac{176 \times 6}{x (x + 6)} = 3$$
=> $$x (x + 6) = 352 = 22 \times 16$$
=> $$x (x + 6) = 16 (16 + 6)$$
=> $$x = 16$$
