$\huge\red{HELLO\:MATE}$ >>Earlier value of the article = x.

Increase in 10% = 10% of x . = 10/100×x = x/10.

The quantity after increasing = x + x/10 = 10x+x/10=11x/10.

ATQ, 11x/10 = 500.

or 11x = 500 × 10.

or x = 500 × 10 / 11.

Therefore x = 545.5(approx.) = 546 (rounding off)

Therefore the value of x is 546.

Greta: no its a wrong answer

Greta: its correct answer is Rs450

Prakharjan: yes it's also a wrong answer

Greta: how

Prakharjan: 450 is not a correct answer

Greta: its 450 because 10% of 500 is 50 so 500-50=450

Prakharjan: according to the question this answer is wrong

Prakharjan: ok

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of x is increased.

So, increase = 10x/100

ATQ,

If x is increased by 10% value becomes 500.

So, equation would be:

=> x+10x/100 = 500

=> 100x+10x/100 = 500

=> 110x = 500*100

=> 110x = 50000

=> x = 50000/110

=> x = 454.55 approx

Prakharjan: this is the right answer

Greta: yes its a right answer
