Question

the price of a shirt is reduced by 15% in a discount sale if its present price is rupees 123.25 find its original price​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs.145

Step-by-step explanation: Let 'x' be the original price of the shirt.

Now, discount offered = 15%

⇒Price after discount = Original price - Discounted amount

⇒123.5 = x - 15% of x

⇒123.5 = x - 15x/100

⇒123.5 × 20 = 20x - 3x

⇒17x = 2470

x = 145

Thus, original price = Rs.145
