raman bought 5 flower pots of three different sizes for a total of rs 290. each pot costs 50 percent more than the next onebelow it in size.what was the cost of the largest flower pot? please provide solution as soon as possible.
Answer :
Let , here Raman buy 2 small , 2 medium and 1 big flower pot .
Let price of small flower pot = x ,
So price of medium flower pot , according to given condition ,
x + 50% of x = x + = x
So,
Price of big flower pot , according to given condition ,
x + 50% of x = x + = x + x = x = x
And as given total price of all five pots = Rs 290 .
SO,
x + x + x + x + x = 290
Taking LCM we get
= 290
= 290
x = 40
So Price of big flower pot = x = ( 40 ) = Rs . 90 ( Ans )
