Question

the price of of a sweater is increased by 8%.if the increase price is₹1566find the original price

Answer 1

Let the original price be 100rs
Then, increased price will be 108rs
So, by unitary method
100 - 108
X - 1566
So,
$156600 \div 108$
$= 1450$

Answer 2

Let the increased price be =  8/100x + x    = 1566
                                          =  2/25x   + x     = 1566
                                          =  2x + 25x / 25 = 1566
                                          =  27x / 25         = 1566
                                          =    x                  = 1566 * 27 / 25
                                                                    = Rs 1450.
Hence, the original price  of sweater is Rs. 1450
