The price of a printer is 1/8 the price of a photocopy machine. If the price of 4 photocopy machines and 7 printers is Rs. 77,025, find the price of a printer?
Explanation
Price of a printer = P
Price of a photocopy machine = 8P (since P = 1/8 * 8P)
Given:
4 * 8P + 7 * P = 77025
32P + 7P = 77025
39P = 77025
P = 77025 / 39
P = 1975
