Answer 1

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original price of ticket be x.

price of ticket raised by 20% = 240

according to question

x*20% = 240

x*20/100 = 240

x = 240*100/20 = 1200

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer will be 200 rupee(original price).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given;

Increase in % of bus fare = 20;

Increased price = 240;

Let the previous(initial) fare of bus be x

Increase in fare(in rupees) of bus can be represented as;

= Increased price(in rupees) - initial price(in rupees)

Thus, = 240 - x;

.

Hence, 20% of x = increase in bus fare(in rupee);

20% * x = 240 - x;

20/100 * x = 240 - x;

x/5 = 240 - x;

x/5 + x = 240;

6x/5 = 240

6x = 1200;

x = 200

Hence, the original price of bus ticket was 200 rupees.

That's all.
