Answer 1

I hope this helps you dear

Answer 2

Answer:

let the original price be X

and now X/100 and into 14 that is equal to 280

then 14x/ 100= 280

280* 100/14 = X

X is = 2000

here X/100 is the one percent of the original price and

that is I multiple with 14 because u have say that 14 percentage of original price is 280

for verification

2000/100

= 20

now 2000/100 is one percent of the original price

now for 14 percentage

20 * 14

that is 280

which is given in question

hence our answer is correct
