Answer 1

Answer:

$600

Step-by-step explanation:

When the price is increased by 20%

The new price is 100 + 20 = 120%

The new price is 120%

The new price is $720

Find 1%:

120% = $720

1% = 720 ÷ 120 = $6

Find 100% (Original Price):

1% = $6

100% = 100 x 6 = $600

Answer: The original price is $600

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer:-}$

• 20% is the increased price.
• 120% is the new price.

Let us find for 1%

So,

$120 = rupees \: 720$

$1 \: percent \: = 720 \div 120 = 6$

Let us find for 100%

So,

$1 \: percent = 100 \times 6 = 600$

Therefore, 600 is the original value.
