Heya friend,
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Let the original price of the refrigerator be ₹x. Then,
according to question,
x + 20 % of x = 15,300
=> x + 20/100 × x = 15,300
=> x + x/5 = 15,300
=> 5x+x/5 = 15,300
=> 6x/5 = 15,300
=> x = 15,300×5/6
=> x = 12,750
Hence, the original price of the refrigerator is ₹12,750.
Thanks
