Question

A shopkeeper decreased the price of a shirt by 16.67% by that should the price be increased now. so as to come back to the original price.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of shirt =x

then after the reduction in price the new cost=x-x(0.1667)=x(0.8333)

For the orignal price =x-(0.8333)x/0.8333x

=0.1667/0.8333

=0.2004

Percent=20.04%
