The price of a flight was increased by 3% to £650.We are required to find the price of the flight before the increase.

We can do it by using simple knowledge of percentages.

Let us assume that the price of flight ticket was x before the increase.As the flight rates are increased by 3%,We shall write it mathematically as shown below-

$x+\frac{3x}{100} =650\\= > \frac{103x}{100} =650= > x=631$

Hence we found that the original price of flight ticket was £631

Therefore,the price of flight ticket before the increase was £631
