Question

if the decrease in the price of an article is 14%that is R.280. what is the price of the article​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

14%. = 280

1%. = 280x1/14

= 20

100% = 20x100

= 2000

Therefore the price of the article is Rs. 2000

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the old price of an article be x,

then, 14% of x = x^x 14 / 100

= 7x/50

New price = x - 7x/50

280 = (50x - 7x) /50

280 × 50 = 43x

hence, x = 280 × 50 / 43

= 325.58
