Question

the price of A saree IS INCREASE by 15% . if the present price rs 115,find its original price

Answer 1

let the original price be x
increased price = x*15/100 = 3x/20
 so , 115 = x + 3x/20
115 = 23x/20
x = 115*20 / 23 = 5*20 = 100
original price = x = 100

Answer 2

new price = ₹115
old price =115-15%
=> 15/100*115
=>3*23
=>69
