The price of the vase before increasing was £ 21.15 .
Explanation:
Let, the price of the vase before increasing be, 's'.
Increased rate = 4%
∴ Increased amount = (s×4/100)
= s/25
∴ Present price = (s+s/25)
= (25s+s)/25 [∵ The L.C.M. of the denominators is 25.]
= 26s/25
According to the problem,
26s/25= 22
⇒ 26s = (22×25)
⇒s = (550/26)
⇒ s= £ 21.15
∴ The price of the vase was £ 21.25
