Given that price was $520 after a 30% increase, the original price was $400.
What is the the original price?
Given that;
- Percentage increase = 30%
- Price after the increase = $520
- Original price = x
To determine the original price, we say;
x × ( 100% + 30% ) = $520
x × ( 130% ) = $520
x × (130/100) = $520
130x / 100 = $520
130x = $52000
x = $52000 / 130
x = $400
