Question

If the price of a cycle is increased by 12%, the increase in the price is 102. What was
the price of the cycle earlier?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the earlier price of the cycle is "x"

When the price increases by 12%,

x + x*(12/100) = x + 102

(100x + 12x) / 100 = x + 102

100x + 12x = 100x + 10200

12x = 10200

x = 850

Therefore, the price of the cycle earlier was 850.
