[if any one give me wrong answer I will be reported ]​

Answer 1

Answer:

16.67 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

let me take the number as 100.

so after 20% increment its price will be 120

then we take the percentage be x

then equation is

120 - 120×x÷100 =100

120 - 12x ÷ 10 = 100

120-100 = 12x÷10

20×10÷12 = x

x =16.67
