Let us assume that the price of the pillow was x
If the price is reduced by 25%, then the price will be:
100% - 25% = 75%
75/100 × x = 0.75x
Therefore, 75x can get you 4 more pillows
That means :
60/0.75x = (60/x) + 4
Multiply the above equation by 0.75x, you will get:
60 = 45 + 3x
3x= 60 - 45
3x = 15
x= 5
Therefore the original price of the pillow was Rs. 5
If the price is reduced by 25%, then the price will be:
100% - 25% = 75%
75/100 × x = 0.75x
Therefore, 75x can get you 4 more pillows
That means :
60/0.75x = (60/x) + 4
Multiply the above equation by 0.75x, you will get:
60 = 45 + 3x
3x= 60 - 45
3x = 15
x= 5
Therefore the original price of the pillow was Rs. 5
