Question

A watch decreased in price by 5/6 . After the reduction it was priced at £11. What was the original price of the watch?

Answer 1

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

let us say the original cost is x

if it decreased by 5/6, that means its new price is now 1/6 x

the new price is 11

1/6 x = 11

x = 11/(1/6)

so x = 11*6/1

x=66
