Question

The price of a sweater is increased by 8% if it increase prices 1566 find the original price

Answer 1

Let the price of the sweater be 'p'.

(100% + 8%) × p = 108% × p = 1566
⇒ (108/100) × p = 1566
⇒ p = (1566 × 100) ÷ 108
⇒ p = 1450.

The original price was 1450.

Answer 2

Answer:

The original price is rs.1450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x

Increased % = 8%

So, Increase in price = $8\% x=\frac{8}{100}x=0.08x$

So, increased price = x+0.08x = 1.08x

We are given that the increased price is Rs.1566

So,$1.08x=1566$

$x=\frac{1566}{1.08}$

$x=1450$

Hence The original price of sweater  is Rs.1450.
