Question 497450: The price of a shirt is reduced by 7% to rupees 465. What is its original price? (Ans. Rupees 500) Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! price of the shirt before reduction is equal to x.
price of the shirt after reduction is equal to x - .07x which becomes x*(1-.07)which becomes .93x
.93x = 465
x = 465/.93 = 500
price of the shirt before reduction is 500.
take off 7% to get 500 - .07*500 which becomes:
500 - 35 which becomes 465.
