A+Ax20%=1500

A+A/5=1500

6A/5=1500

A=1500x5/6

A=₹1250

So, the fees for previous month is /₹1250

Answer 2

The fees of previous year was Rs. 1250

Given : The fees is increased 20% in a year, the fees for this year is Rs. 1500

To find : The fees of previous year.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the fees of the previous year)

Let, the fees of previous year = Rs. x

The fees of next year = x + (x × 20/100) = x + (x/5) = Rs. 6x/5

According to the data mentioned in the question,

6x/5 = 1500

x = 1500 × 5/6

x = 1250

So, the fees of previous year = Rs. x = Rs. 1250

Hence, the fees of previous year was Rs. 1250
