 Solution: Let the price of sugar initially be Rs x per kg.

According to Question,

25% increase in the price of sugar = cost of 1 kg of sugar 32

25% of x+x=32

⇒x+(x×25/100) =32

⇒x+(x/4)=32

⇒{(4x+x)/4}=32

⇒(5x/4)=32

⇒5x=32×4

⇒x=128/5

Therefore, x=25.6 Rs.

So initially the price of sugar per kg was Rs.25.6
