Answer 1

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be X.

X+14/100 X =1425

X+7X/50 =1425

50X+7X/50=1425

57X/50=1425

X=(1425×50)/57

X=25×50

X=1250

So the original price is 1250.

The price of the cycle = Rs. 1425

Price increase = 14%

To Find:

The original price of the cycle

x = 1425 × 100 / 114

= 12.5  × 100

= 1250

Answer: The original price of the cycle is Rs. 1250
