We have,

A 15%increase in the price of the saree is₹115.

Now, let assume the original price of the saree be$x$.

From the given statement we can write:

$\Rightarrow x+x\times \frac{15}{100} =115\\\\\Rightarrow x+\frac{15x}{100} =115\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{100x+15x}{100} =115\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{115x}{100} =115$

$\Rightarrow 115x=115\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 115x=11500\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{11500}{115} \\\\\Rightarrow x= 100$

Hence, the original price of the saree will be$100Rs.$
