Question

After the reduction of 12.5% the price of dinning table become ₹ 4375. what was the original price of the dinning table​

Answer 1

Let the original price be Rs x

reduction=12.5%

Thus,according to question----

x-12.5% of x=4375

x-12.5/100×x=4375

100x-12.5x=437500

87.5x=437500

x=437500/87.5

x= 5000

Thus,the original price of the dining table is Rs.5000
