Price of 1 kg of sugar is increased by 30% and the increase is of Rs 48. What is the new price (in Rs) of the sugar per kg?
Let original price of sugar = Rs. $$100x$$
Increase in price = 30%
=> New price = $$100x+(\frac{30}{100}\times100x)=Rs.$$ $$130x$$
According to ques,
=> $$100x+48=130x$$
=> $$130x-100x=30x=48$$
=> $$x=\frac{48}{30}=1.6$$
$$\therefore$$ New price = $$130\times1.6=Rs.$$ $$208$$
