Answer 2

Original price of item is 3000 Rs.

Given:

• The price of an item was decreased by 18%.
• If it is now priced at Rs.2460.

To find:

• What was its original price?

Solution:

Step 1:

Write the equation.

Let the original price of item is x rupees.

so,

x- (18% of x)= 2460

or

$x-\frac{18}{100} \times x = 2460$

Step 2:

Solve for x.

$\frac{100x-18x}{100} =2460$

or

$\frac{82x}{100} =2460$

or

$x=\frac{2460×100}{82}$

or

$x = 30 \times 100$

or

$\bf x = 3000$

Thus,

Original price of item is 3000 Rs.
