Answer 2

Answer:

The original; price was 1400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x.

A shopkeeper increase the price of a cycle by 15%

⇒Increased price = $\frac{115x}{100}$

It is also given that: increased new price was Rupees 1610.

⇒$\frac{115x}{100}=1610$

Divide both sides by 115 we get;

$\frac{x}{100}=14$

Multiply both sides by 100 we get;

x = 1400

Therefore, the original; price was 1400
