Question

The price of a ring was increased by 30% to £325. What was the price before the increase?

Answer 1

$Let \:the \: Original \:price \:of \:a \:ring = x$

$Increase (g) = 30\%$

$New \:price (n) = £ 325$

$\boxed { \pink { x = \frac{ 100\times n }{(100+g)}}}$

$x = \frac{100 \times 325 }{100+30}$

$= \frac{100\times 325}{130}\\=£250$

Therefore.,

$\red { Original \:price \:of \:a \:ring } \green {= £250}$
