Question

The original price of a dining table was 56,200. If the cost initially decreased by 15% and then increased by 20%, what is its final price? The final price is what percent of the original price? (Report the answer rounded-off to one decimal place.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original price of the dining table be Rs x.

⇒ x = 4375

⇒100x−12.5x=437500

⇒x = 87.5/437500

⇒5000

∴Original price of the dining table is Rs 5000.
