Question

A shopkeeper increased the price of a cycle by 15%.The increased new price was 1610 rs.What was the original price

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 1400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say original price = Rs x

Increase in price = (15/100)x = 0.15x

New price = x + 0.15x = 1.15x

1.15x = 1610

x = 1610/1.15 = 1400

Rs 1400

Answer 2

hey mate!!!!!
let the original price be x
15%of x+x=1610
15x/100 +x=1610
115x/100=1610
115x=1610*100
x=16100/115
x=Rs1400
hope this helps
