Answer 2

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

since it's been decrease by 30%, then 63 is 70% of the original.

therefore to find 10% of 63 u divide by 7 which gets u 9.

now knowing that 10%=9, to find the original u need to add the 30% which was taken away. so u need to multiply 9 by 3 to find 30%. which is 27.

now to find 100% u add the 30% to 70%, 27+63= 90

therefore the original price was £90
