Question

if the price of a watch is increased by 15 percent the increase in the price is 90 what was the price of the watch earlier​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual amount as x

Then ( 15 ) % of x = 90

⇒ (15 / 100 ) x ( x ) = 90

⇒ 15 x = 90 x 100

⇒ x = 6 x100

⇒ x= 600

Therefore, the price of the watch earlier was 600.
