Question

The price of a pair of trousers was decreased by $22$% to 30$. What was the original price of the trousers? Write answer in the nearest integer form (in Dollars).

Answer 1

Given,

Price of pair of trousers was decreased by $22\%$ to $\$30$

So, let the original price be $100$.

Decreased price will be $(100-22)=78$

When the decreased price is $78$ original price will be $100$.

When the decreased price is $\$30$ original price will be $=$ $\frac{100}{78}\times 30=38.46$

So, original price of trousers will be $\$38$.
