Question

on increasing the price of a cycle by 15% it becomes 1500.What is its overall price

Answer 1

Given

Price is increased by 15% becomes 1500

To find

Overall price

Solution

Let the original price be x

so by the condition given in your question we get equation

x + x × 15/100 = 1500

x + 3x/20 = 1500

23x/20 = 1500

x = 1500 × 20/23

Answer 2

Heya ☺

Given that

New cost of the cycle = ₹1,500

If it increases by 15 %

Overall price = ?

Solution

Let the initial price of a cycle be ₹x. Then,

according to question,

x + 15 % of x = 1,500

=> x + 15/100 × x = 1,500

=> x + 3x/20 = 1,500

=> 20x + 3x/20 = 1,500

=> 23x/20 = 1,500

=> x = 1,500 × 20/23

=> x = 30,000/23

=> x = 1,304.34

Hence , the overall price of a cycle is ₹1,304.34.
