a) ₹\;80.50
b) ₹\;70.60
c) ₹\;60.70
d) ₹\;50.80
correct answer is: a) ₹\;80.50
Explanation
Here, the ratio of prices of two books is 2\;:\;5\;.
And, the first book price is ₹\;32.20
Let, the second book price is ‘x’.
According to the question :
2\;:\;5=32.20\;:\;x
\rightarrow\large\frac{2}{5}\normalsize=\large\frac{32.20}{x}
\rightarrow 2x=\left(32.20\times5\right)
\rightarrow x=\large\frac{3220\times5}{2\times100} [remove decimal]
\rightarrow x=80.50
So that, the second book price is ₹\;80.50
Ans: The second book price is ₹\;80.50\;.
This precise math question can be conveyed differently as well:
- If the first book costs ₹32.20 and the price ratio of the two books is 2:5, what is the price of the second book?
- If the price of one book is ₹32.20 and the price ratio of the two books is 2:5, what is the price of the second book?
- With the first book priced at ₹32.20 and a price ratio of 2:5 between the two books, what is the price of the second book?
