Question

The price of a ring was decreased by 25% to £390. What was the price before the decrease?

Answer 1

The original price was 520

Explanation:

To find this, we first need to note that we paid 75% of the price. This is because we took 25% off from the original. Now we take the price we paid and divide it by the percentage of it which we paid. This will give us the original price.

390/75% = Total

390/.75 = Total

520 = Total
