Let $\"x\" is original price
\n" ); document.write( "The amount of the increase - 25% from original price is \"0.25%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( "New price is the original price plus the amount of increase \"x%2B0.25x\"
\n" ); document.write( "New price is 250000
\n" ); document.write( "So equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B0.25x=250000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.25x=250000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=250000%2F1.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=200000\" $ is original price
\n" ); document.write( "The amount of the increase \"0.25%2Ax=0.25%2A200000=50000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: 1)The original Price $200000 2)The amount of the increase $50000
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
