اگر کسی چیز کی قیمت میں 20% اضافہ ہو اور نئی قیمت $60 ہو تو اصل قیمت کیا تھی؟
- $40
- $50
- $45
- $55
Explanation
To find the original price before the 20% increase, follow these steps:
1. Let the original price be P. The price is increased by 20%, so the new price is 120% of the original price.
New Price=1.20×Original Price
2. Set up the equation using the given new price of $60:
1.20×P=60
3. Solve for
𝑃= 60/ 1.20 = 50
So, the original price was $50.
