Question

per cent is B's salary higher than A's? 26. The price of a notebook was increased by x%. To bring the price to the earlier level, it had to be reduced by 16%. Find the value of x.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 19.05%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price of the notebook = 100

When the price increased by x% , the final price of the notebook is,

               $\begin{aligned}100+\frac{x}{100}\times 100\\=100+x\end{aligned}$

 If the final price is reduced by 16% , the price of the notebook becomes the initial value,

That is,

             $\begin{aligned}\left(100+x\right)-\frac{16}{100}\left(100+x)=100\end{aligned}$

                  $x = 19.05$
