Answer 1

Answer:

let the old price be x

then,

x×15/100= 3x/20

According to the question ,

x+3 x/20=3680

23 x/20=3680

23 x= 3680×20

x=3680×20/23

x=3200

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the old price be "x".

Price percent increased = 15% of x

= 15/100 × x

= 3/20 × x

= 3x/20

C.P. after increase = Old price + Price percent increased

=> Rs. 3680 = x + 3x/20

=> Rs. 3680 = (20x + 3x)/20

=> Rs. 3680 = 23x/20

=> Rs. 3680 × 20 = 23x

=> 23x = 73600

Therefore, x = 73600/23

= Rs. 3200
