Question

the price of an article is reduced by 25%. in order to retain the original price, by what percent should the present price be increased?​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x.

Increase in price = 25% of x = 25x/100

Increased price = 25x/100 + x = 125x/100

Thus, amount to be decreased = 125x/100 - x = 25x/100

Therefore, percentage amount to be decreased =

[(25x/100)/x] * 100% = 25%(Ans)
