✪ Question ✪

In a stock clearance sale a shoe company reduce the price by 16%. If the reduce price of pair be ₹ 277.20, find the original amount.

✪ Given ✪

• In a stock clearance sale a shoe company reduce the price by 16%.
• The reduce price of pair is ₹ 277.20.

✪ To find ✪

The original price.

✪ Solution ✪

Let the original price be ₹ x.

According to condition,

x - 16% of x = 277.20

⇒x - 16/100 × x = 277.20

⇒x - 16x/100 = 277.20

⇒(100-16)x/100 = 277.20

⇒84x/100 = 277.20

⇒84x = 277.20 × 100

⇒84x = 27720

⇒x = 27720/84

⇒x = 330

✪ Hence ✪

Original price = ₹ x = ₹ 330

✪ Therefore ✪

The original price of the shoe is ₹ 330.
