The price of 13m cloth is as much less than rs.50 as the price of 27m exceeds rs.29. Find the price per meter?????
50-13p = 27p-29
p = 1.975
13m = 25.675
27m = 53.325
50-25.675 = 24.325
53.325-29 = 24.325
Odd that the price would be 3 decimal places.
To find the price per meter, we need to determine the total price and divide it by the total length of cloth.
Let's denote the price per meter as 'x'.
According to the given information:
The price of 13 meters of cloth is rs. 50 less than 'x'.
The price of 27 meters of cloth exceeds rs. 29.
Based on this information, we can create two equations:
Equation 1: 13x = x - 50 (because the price of 13 meters is rs. 50 less than 'x')
Equation 2: 27x > x + 29 (because the price of 27 meters exceeds rs. 29)
Simplifying Equation 1:
13x - x = -50
12x = -50
x = -50/12
x ≈ -4.17 (negative price per meter doesn't make sense in this context)
Simplifying Equation 2:
27x > x + 29
26x > 29
x > 29/26
x ≈ 1.12
Therefore, the price per meter is approximately rs. 1.12.
