Question

A 15% increase in the price of saree is rupees 115.what is the orignal price of the saree?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the price of saree be X.

So,

X + ( 15% of x) = 115

X + 15/100x = 115

(100x + 15x)/100 = 115

115x/ 100 = 115

X = 115 x 100/115

X = 100

So, original price of the saree is Rs 100

Hope it helps...!!

Let the original price of the Saree be ₹ x

increased price = ₹ 115

x + 15x/100 = 115

115x/100 = 115

x = 115 × 100/115

x = ₹ 100
