Question

The price of a holiday was increased by 11% to £870. What was the price before the increase? Give your answer to the nearest penny.

Answer 1

• £783.78

Explanation:

Let the price before be x

Then the price after is:

• x + 11% of x = £870
• x*1.11 = £870
• x = £870/1.11
• x = £783.78 rounded to the nearest penny
