Answer 2

Given:

A shopkeeper increases the price of a cycle by 15% the increase new price was rupees 1610

To Find:

what was the original price ?

Solution:

Let the original price of cycle be x  

We are given that shopkeeper increases the price of a cycle by 15%

Increased price = $x+15\%x=x+0.15x=1.15x$

We are given that new price is Rs.1610

So,1.15x=1610

$x=\frac{1610}{1.15}$

x= 1400

Hence the original price is Rs.1400
