Let the original price of the article be Rs. x per kg
New price = Rs. 76x/100 per kg
Given,
⇒ 100/(76x/100) – 100/x = 4
⇒ (10,000 – 7600)/76x = 4
⇒ 2400/4 = 76x
⇒ 600 = 76x
⇒ x = 150/19
New price = 76x/100 = 76/100 × 150/19 = 6 ≈ Rs. 6 per kg
New price = Rs. 76x/100 per kg
Given,
⇒ 100/(76x/100) – 100/x = 4
⇒ (10,000 – 7600)/76x = 4
⇒ 2400/4 = 76x
⇒ 600 = 76x
⇒ x = 150/19
New price = 76x/100 = 76/100 × 150/19 = 6 ≈ Rs. 6 per kg
