Question

The ratio of the sale of eggs on a Sunday and that of the whole week at a grocery shop was 2 : 9. If the total value of the sale of eggs in the same week was Rs 360, find the value of the sale of eggs that Sunday.

Sum

Solution

Let, the sale of eggs on Sunday = x
Sale in week = Rs 360
According to question, 2 : 9 = x : 360

⇒ 9 × x = 360 × 2

x = `(360xx2)/9` = Rs 80

Sale on Sunday = Rs 80
