You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A buyer has spent Rs.30,151 on 550 units of a particular item. 
The first 100 units cost Rs.50 each; 
AMOUNT SPENT ON 100 UNITS =100*50=5000 RS 
the next 150 units cost Rs.8,250 in total 
AMOUNT SPENT ON 150 UNITS = 8250 RS 
.The next batch..OF...Y...SAY cost Rs.11,200 in total  
COST OF NEXT BATCH = 11200 RS. 
TOTAL NUMBERS BOUGHT = 100+150+Y=250+Y 
and the final 100 cost Rs.x each.Find the value of x. 
COST OF FINAL 100 = 100X 
G.T. NUMBERS BOUGHT = 250+Y+100= 350+Y=550 
Y=550-350=200 
TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT = 
5000+8250+11200+100X = 24450+100X=30151 
100X=30151-244450 = 5701 
X=5701/100 = 57.01 RS. EACH 
HENCE HE SPENT RS.57.01 FOR THE OTHER ITEMS.
