If price of the table is increased by 25%, then a person can buy 25 tables less for Rs.25000. What is the original price (in Rs) of the table?
Let price of a table = Rs. $$100x$$
Number of tables bought for Rs. 25,000 = $$\frac{25000}{100x}=\frac{250}{x}$$
New price of table = $$100x+(\frac{25}{100}\times100x)=Rs.$$ $$125x$$
Number of tables bought for Rs. 25,000 =Â $$\frac{25000}{125x}=\frac{200}{x}$$
According to ques,
=> $$\frac{200}{x}+25=\frac{250}{x}$$
=> $$\frac{250}{x}-\frac{200}{x}=25$$
=> $$\frac{50}{x}=25$$
=> $$x=\frac{50}{25}=2$$
$$\therefore$$Â Original price = $$2\times100=Rs.$$ $$200$$
