Answer 2

Answer:

∴The original price of the refrigerator was  ₹19,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of the refrigerator be x .

Increase Percentage = 25

Increase = $\frac{25}{100}$ × $x$

CP + Increase = S.P

$x$ + $\frac{25}{100}$ × $x$  = 24500

$x$ + $\frac{x}{4}$ = 24500

$\frac{4x+x}{4}$ = 24500

$\frac{5x}{4}$ = 24500

5$x$ = 24500 x 4

5$x$ = 98,000

$x$ = $\frac{98000}{5}$

$x$  = 19,600

∴The original price of the Refrigerator was ₹19,600.
