Question

the price reduced by 15% if the price is 2975 find the original price

Answer 1

The price when reduced by 15% = ₹ 2975

Let the original price be ₹ x.

So,
x - 15% of x = ₹ 2975
x - 15/100 * x = 2975
85x/100 = 2975
x = 297500/85

On solving we get,
x = 3500

Whenever you get to solve such questions make sure you begin by assuming a variable which may be any letter of English.
