If ₹ 306 is 5/9 % of the price of a sofa, then the price of the sofa is

Last updated May 15, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — ₹ 55080
₹306 is 5/9 % of the price of the sofa.
This means:
306 = (5/9) % × Price of sofa
Or, in equation form:
306 = (5/9) × (1/100) × Price
To find the price:
Price = 306 ÷ [(5/9) × (1/100)]
= 306 × (9/5) × 100
= 306 × (900 / 5)
= 306 × 180
Now, 306 × 180 = 55,080
(Quick check: 300 × 180 = 54,000; 6 × 180 = 1,080; total = 55,080)
Thus, the price of the sofa is ₹55,080.
Correct option: A) ₹55080
