Question

If 6% is deducted from bill, $282 remains to be paid. What is the original bill

Answer 1

Answer:

$300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

94/100×x = 282

47/50×x = 282

x = 282×50/47

= 14100/47

= $300

Answer 2

Let the value of the original bill be $'y'$

So according to the question, we understand that $6 \%$ is deducted.

So now we need to solve the equation ⇒

$\frac{(y\times6)}{100}$

$\frac{6y}{100}$

Now we know that this is true according to the question⇒ $Original\ bill - deduction = \ 282$

$y-\frac{6y}{100}=282\\ \\\rightarrow 94y=28200\\ \\ \rightarrow y= \frac{28200}{94} \\ \\ \rightarrow y=300$

∴ The original bill was of $\ 300$.
