Answer 2

Answer ⬇️

Let cost of original bill be x rs

deducted price = 4% of x RS

=

$\frac{4}{100} \times x \\ \frac{1}{25} \times x \\ \frac{x}{25}$

$deducted \: price \: = \frac{x}{25}$

$price \: after \: deduction \: = x - \frac{x}{25} \\ = \frac{25x - x}{25} \\ = \frac{24x}{25}$

price after deduction = 1488 RS ( Given )

$1488 = \frac{24x}{25} \\ 24x = 1488 \times 25 \\ 24x = 37200 \\ x = \frac{37200}{24} \\ x = 1550$

The original bill was 1550
