Answer 2

Answer:

$\red { Original \: price \:of \: saree }\green {=Rs\:900}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: original \:price \: of \: a \: saree = Rs\:x$

/* According to the problem given,

$15\% \: increase \: in \: original \: price = Rs\:135$

$\implies 15\% \:of \: x = 135$

$\implies 15\% \times \: x = 135$

$\implies \frac{15}{100}\times x = 135$

$\implies x = 135 \times \frac{100}{15}$

$\implies x = Rs \: 900$

Therefore.,

$\red { Original \: price \:of \: saree }\green {=Rs\:900}$
