​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs1275

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the original price of an article = Rs x

1479=(1+16/100) of original price

It can be written as

1479=[(100+16)/100]× Rs x

By further calculation

1478=116/100×x

So we get 

116x/100=1479

By separating the terms

x=(1479×100)/116

x=(1479×25)/29

By division

x=51×25

x=1275

Therefore, the original price of an article is Rs 1275.
