Question

On increasing the price of an article by 14 percent it becomes rs 1995 what was it's original price

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.1750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the article be "x"

We are given that if the price is increased by 14%, it becomes Rs.1995

=> x + 14% of x = 1995

=> x + 0.14x = 1995

=> 1.14x = 1995

=> x = (1995/1.14)

=> x = 1750

The original price of the article is Rs.1750
