Question

the price of an item when increased by 60% becomes rupees 128 find the original price of the item​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the initial amount of the item be Rs x.

Now, 1.6x =  128

=> x = 80

Ans = Rs 80

Answer 2

Answer:

80 rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be x .

increased new amount = 128 rs.

increased percentage = 60%

60 % of x + x = 128

60/100 × x + x = 128

60x/ 100 + x /1 = 128

(60 x + 100x ) / 100 = 128

160 x = 128 × 100

x = 12800/ 160

x = 80

Therefore ,original price of the item = 80 rs.
