Question

The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £198.
What was the price before the increase?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase the number by 20% of its value.

Percentage increase = 20% × 198

New value =  198 + Percentage increase  

= 198 + (20% × 198)  

= 198 + 20% × 198

= (1 + 20%) × 198

= (100% + 20%) × 198

= 120% × 198

= 120 ÷ 100 × 198  

= 120 × 198 ÷ 100  

= 23,760 ÷ 100

=  237.6
