Question

17. In a clearance sale, a cloth merchant reduced
prices by 15%. If the reduced price of a saree
is * 1700, find its original price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

11,333.34 (approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial price = x

given,

%age decrease = 15

Amount decreased = 1700

Percentage decrease = (Amount decreased/Total Amount)*100

=> 15 = (1700/x)*100

=> 15 = 170000/x

(Multiply x to both the sides and divide 15 from both the sides)

=> x = 170000/15

=> 11,333.34 (approx)
