Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = original price per liter
(0.92)x = reduced price per liter
y = liters purchased at price x for 420 rupee
---
xy = 420
(0.92)x(y + 2) = 420
(0.92)xy + (0.92)2x = 420
(0.92)420 + (0.92)2x = 420
386.4 + (1.84)x = 420
(1.84)x = 420 - 386.4
x = (420 - 386.4)/1.84
x = 18.261
reduced price per liter = (0.92)18.261
