Question

in a stock clearance sale , liberty shoe company reduces the prices by 16% .if tha reduced price of shoe is 277.20 . find its original price

Answer 1

Answer:

330

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say original price = x

Reduction in price =(16/100)*x

= 0.16x

Reduced price = x - 0.16x = 0.84x

0.84x = 277.2

x = 277.2/0.84

x = 330

Answer 2

The original price is Rs.330

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of shoes be x

We are given that company reduces the prices by 16%

So, Reduced price =$x-16\%x$

                               = $x-\frac{16}{100}x$

                               = $x-0.16x$

                               = 0.84x

We are given that the reduced price is Rs.277.20

So, $0.84x=277.20$

$x=\frac{277.20}{0.84}$

x=330

Hence The original price is Rs.330
