Question

The price of a sweater is increased by 8%. If its increased price is 1566, find the
original price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the original price b "x" rupees

when price is increased by 8%

means x+8% of x

=x+8/100×x

according to question

x+8x/100=1566

or 100x+8x/100=1566

108x/100=1566

or 108x=1566×100=156600

x=156600/108=1450

so original price is x=1450 rupees
