Let the original price be = x

Decreased price = ( 100—10)% of x= 90% of x

=} 90% of x = 24,30,000

=}

$90x \div 100 = 2430000$

$x = 2430000 \times 100 \div 90 = 2700000$

So, The original price of the house was Rs 27,00,000

Answer 2

Given - Decrease in 10% equals value Rs 24,30,000

Find - Original price

Solution - Let us say that the original value of the house be x. So as per the question, a reduction in 10% of x resulted in a value of Rs 24,30,000, which is final price of house.

Representing this in mathematical form -

x - 10x/100 = 24,30,000

Taking LCM, which will be 100 -

100x - 10x = 24,30,000*100

Performing subtraction and multiplication-

90x = 243000000

Performing division -

x = 243000000/90

x = 2,700,000.

Hence, the original price of the house was Rs. 2,700,000.
