Question

A 15% increase in the price of a bat is ₹ 135. What is the original price of the bat?

Answer 1

✬ Original Price = Rs 900 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• A 15% increase in price of bat is Rs 135.

To Find:

• What is the original price of bat ?

Solution: Let original price of bat be Rs x. Therefore,

➼ 15% of x = 135

$\implies{\rm }$ 15/100(x) = 135

$\implies{\rm }$ 15x/100 = 135

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

$\implies{\rm }$ 15x = 13500

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 13500/15

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 900

Hence, original price of bat was Rs 900.

ANSWER✔

$\Large\underline\bold{GIVEN,}$

$\sf\therefore the\:price\:increased\:in\:a\:bat\:is\:RS\:135\:of\:15 \%$

$\Large\underline\bold{TO\:FIND,}$

$\sf\dashrightarrow THE\: ORIGINALS\:PRICE\:OF\:BAT$

$\Large\underline\bold{SOLUTION,}$

$\sf\therefore LET\:THE\:ORIGINAL\:PRICE\:OF\:BAT\:BE\:X\:RUPEE$

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION,

$\sf\dashrightarrow 15\: \% \:of \:x \:is \:135$

$\sf\implies \dfrac{15}{100} \times (x) =135$

$\sf\implies \dfrac{15x}{100}=135$

$\sf\implies 15x=135 \times 100$

$\sf\implies 15x=13500$

$\sf\implies x= \dfrac{13500}{15}$

$\sf\implies x= \dfrac{\cancel {13500}^{900}}{ \cancel {15}_1}$

$\sf\implies x=900$

$\large{\boxed{\sf{x=900}}}$

$\sf\underline\bold{hence,the\:original\:price\:of\:the\:bat\:us\:rupees\:900}$
