Answer 2

Answer:

• The original price of an article is Rs 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• The price of an article becomes 260 after it increases by 30%.

To Find:

• The original price in rupees.

Let us assume:

• The original price of an article be x.

Increase in price:

• 30% of x

Finding the original price:

Original price + Increase in price = Increased price

⟶ x + 30% of x = 260

⟶ x + 0.3x = 260

⟶ 1.3x = 260

⟶ x = 260/1.3

⟶ x = 200

∴ Original price = Rs 200
