Please give step by step explanation.​

Answer 1

here,

15% was increased from the actual price and the 15%=90

then we need to find the actual price,

let the actual price be 'x',

15% of actual price = 90

or, 15/100 × x=90

or,15x = 90×100

or,x=9000/15

 x=600

so, actual price=600

hence, the price of the watch earlier was 600.

Answer 2

Answer:

₹ 600

Step-by-step explanation:

price of watch earlier = ₹ 90

price of watch increased = 15%

price of watch earlier ne X

Then,

15% × X = 90

15 / 100 × X = 90

X = 90 ÷ 15 / 100

X = 90× 100 / 15

X = 9000 / 15

X = 600
