Question

A 15% increase in the price of saree is 115 .what is the original price of the saree?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of saree be X.

So,

X + ( 15% of x) = 115

X + 15/100× x = 115

(100x + 15x)/100 = 115

115x/100= 115

X = 115 x 100/115

X = 100

So, original price of the saree is Rs 100
