Question

After a 25% price increase, a diamond is on sale for $2500. what was the original price?​

Answer 1

$3125 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:

25% of 2500

In order to find the answer, we first will have to use the formula to calculate percentages to find 25% of 2500, then we add that answer onto the initial amount to have our answer.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(25* 2500)/(100) =25*2500=62500/100=625`

`=625`

Now add:

`2500+625=3125`

`=3125`

Which means after a 25% increase the diamond will cost "$3125 dollars."

Hope this helps.
