The price of a teaset is increased by 5%. If the increased price is 441, what is its orginal price ?

Answer 1

=> Let the Original price of the tea set be = xx

=> The increased price = 441

Therefore,

=> 441 = x+(5/100) × x441 = x+(5/100) × x

=> 441 = x+x/20441 = x+x/20

=> 441 = (20x+x)/20441 = (20x+x)/20

=> 441 = 21x/20441 = 21x/20

=> x = 441 × 20/21x = 441 × 20/21

=> x = 420x = 420

Hence, the original price of the tea set is Rs 420.

I hope this will help you dear..

Always stay safe and stay healthy..

Answer 2

Let the Original price of the tea set be = xx

The increased price = 441

Therefore,

$\pink:\implies$441 = x +(5/100) × x441 = x + (5/100)× x

$\pink:\implies$441 = x + x/20441 = x+x/20

$\pink:\implies$441 = (20x+x)/20441 = (20x+x)/20

$\pink:\implies$441 = 21x/20441 = 21x/20

$\pink:\implies$x = 441 × 20/21x = 441 × 20/21

$\pink:\implies$x = 420x = 420

Hence, the original price of the tea set is Rs 420
