Question

At a sale, shirts were sold for Rs. 1500 each. This price was 80% of their original price. What was the original price?

Answer 1

Let the original price be = y
So, according to the question,

80% of y = 1500
80/100 x y = 1500
4/5y = 1500
4y = 1500 x 5
4y = 7500
Therefore, y = 7500/4
= ₹1875

Hence, original price = ₹1875
