Question

The price of a sweater is increased by 8 % if it's increased price is rupees 1566 find the original price

Answer 1

Let the Original Price of Sweater was x

Price increased = 8% of Original Price = (8/100) × x

Original Price + 8% of Original Price = Price of Sweater after increasing

Putting value of each

$x+\frac{8}{100}x = 1566$

$\frac{108x}{100}=1566$

$x = 1566 \times \frac{100}{108}</p><p>x = 1450$

Hence Original Price of Sweater was Rs.1450
