Answer:

The original price is Rs. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be Rs.x

x+8% of x=54

x+(8/100)*x=54

x+8x/100=54

(100x+8x)/100=54

108x/100=54

x=54* 100/108

x=50.

The original price is Rs. 50

Answer:

  • Rs 500 per liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x.

<u>We have:</u>

  • x + 8% of x = 540

<u>Rewrite it as below and solve for x:</u>

  • x + 0.08x = 540
  • 1.08x = 540
  • x = 540/1.08
  • x = 500

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
