The cost of a dress was Rs. 600. If the price was increased in the ratio of $ 5: 6, $ what is the new cost of the dress?
Given:
The cost of a dress was Rs. 600.
The price was increased in the ratio of \( 5: 6 \).
To do:
We have to find the new cost of the dress.
Solution:
Let the new cost of the dress be $x$.
Therefore,
$\frac{600}{x}=\frac{5}{6}$
$x=\frac{600\times6}{5}$
$x=120\times6$
$x=720$
The new cost of the dress is Rs. 720.
