Question

A shopkeeper increased the price of a cycle by 15 % . The increase price was Rs 1610 . What was the original price??? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let

Original Price of Cycle = x

15% of x = x*0.15=0.15x

Given

Increased price = 1610

Original Price + 15% of x = Increased price

x+0.15x=1610

1.15x=1610

1.15x/1.15=1610/1.15

x=1400

Original Price of Cycle = Rs. 1400
