Question

the value of land is increased by 30 % it is now rupees 13000 what was the price of land before increase in price

Answer 1

Find the percentage after increase:

Let the original be 100%

Percentage after increased = 100 + 30 = 130%

Find the original price:

130% = Rs 13000

1% = 13000 ÷ 130 = Rs 100

100% = 100 x 100 = Rs 10,000

Answer: The original price is Rs 10000

Answer 2

Let the values of land before increase in price be Rs. x.

The land increased by 30℅,

= 30℅ of x

= 30/100 of x

= (3x)/10

So ,

$x + \frac{3x}{10} = 13000 \\ \\ = > \frac{10x + 3x}{10} = 13000 \\ \\ = > \frac{13x}{10} = 13000 \\ \\ = > 13x = 13000 \times 10 \\ \\ = > 13x = 130000 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{130000}{13} \\ \\ = > x = 10000$

Hence, the price of land before increase = Rs. x = Rs. 10000.
