If an increase of 20% changed the price of shirt to Rs. 480, then the original price of the shirt is?
Answer: 400
Explanation
To find the original price of the shirt, let's denote the original price as x. Since the price increased by 20%, the new price is 120% of the original price, or 1.2x.
Given that the new price is Rs. 480, we can set up the equation:
1.2x = 480
To solve for x, divide both sides by 1.2:
x = 480 / 1.2
x = 400
So, the original price of the shirt is 400.
