Given, SP of 25 items = 1250 SP of 1 item = \(\frac{1250}{25}\) = 50 CP of 1 item = 50 × \(\frac{100}{90}\) = \(\frac{500}{9}\) New SP of 1 item = \(\frac{500}{9}\) × \(\frac{117}{100}\)= 65 In Rs. 65 we can buy = 1 item In Rs. 1 we can buy = \(\frac{1}{65}\) item In Rs. 2600 we can buy = \(\frac{1}{65}\) × 2600 = 40 items |
