Answer» Let the original price of the garment = Rs x Reduced percentage = d = 15 % Selling price of the garment = S.P = Rs 306 Selling price = original price × ( 100 - d ) / 100 Original price = ( selling price × 100 ) / ( 100 - d ) x = (306 × 100 ) / ( 100 - 15 ) x = ( 306 × 100 ) / 85 x = 360 Therefore original price of the garment = x = Rs 360

Answer»

Let the original price of the garment = Rs x

Reduced percentage = d = 15 %

Selling price of the garment = S.P = Rs 306

Selling price = original price × ( 100 - d ) / 100

Original price = ( selling price × 100 ) / ( 100 - d )

x = (306 × 100 ) / ( 100 - 15 )

x = ( 306 × 100 ) / 85

x = 360

Therefore original price of the garment = x = Rs 360
