Question

After 20% hike, the cost of chinese vase is RS 2000. what was the original price of the object

Answer 1

20% hike i.e 120/100
let the original price be x
so
(120/100)*x= 2000
x= 5000/3

Answer 2

Let og price= X

Hike = 20%

New price = 2000

: X*100+20/100=2000

=X*12/10=2000

=X=2000*10/12

=X=20000/12

=X=5000/3

: OG price is Rs.1666.67

Or Rs.5000/3

Hope this was helpful! ;)
