Answer 1

☆Hey Mate☆

Thanks for the question!

Let's the inicial value be x

20 % increase = x + 20x/100

Equation :-

x + 20x/100 = 18000

( 100x + 20x )/ 100 = 18000

120x/100 = 18000

x = 18000 × 100/120

x = 15000

$hope \: it \: helps$

Have a ^Good Day^ Ahead☺!

Answer 2

Let the price of the land before increase = x.

x + 20% of x = 18000

x + 20/100 * x = 18000

x + 20x/100 = 18000

x + x/5 = 18000

6x/5 = 18000

6x = 90000

x = 15000.


Hope this helps!
