Question

a shop advertises 15% off its prices in a sale a purse is 4.42 in the sale how much was it before the price reduction

Answer 1

Answer: 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

= 4.42/(1-0.15)

= 4.42/0.85 = 5.2

Answer 2

$Let \: original \: prices = Rs \: x$

$reduction (l) = 15\%$

$Sales \:price (s.p) = Rs \: 4.42$

$Original \: price = \frac{ s.p \times 100}{100-l} \\= \frac{ 4.42 \times 100}{100-15} \\= \frac{442}{85} \\= Rs \: 5.20$

Therefore.,

$\red { Price \: before \: reduction } \green {= Rs \: 5.20}$
