Question

The price of a flight was increased by 3% to £650. What was the price before the increase?

Give your answer to the nearest penny.

Answer 1

The answer is 630.5. What you’d need to do to solve the problem is multiply 3% (0.03) by 650 and you’d end up getting 19.5. Subtract the number you got (19.5) from 650, and you’ll end up with your answer.
