ATQ, Let cost price of item ‘Sugar bag’ = Rs. ‘x’ = selling price of item ‘Rice bag’ Selling price of item ‘Sugar bag’ = 1.40 × x = Rs. ‘1.4x’ So, cost price of item ‘Rice bag’ = (5/14) × 1.4x = Rs. ‘0.5x’ ATQ, x = 0.5x + 15 Or, 0.5x = 15 Or, x = 30 So, cost price of item ‘Rice bag’ = 0.5x = 0.5 × 30 = Rs. 15
