Question

The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £147. What was the price before the decrease?

Answer 1

A decrease by 30%, means that the price is now 70% of the original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%)

To find the original price divide the new price by the percent of the original price it is now.

147 / 0.70 = 210

The original price was £210

Answer 2

The price before the decrease is £210.

Given that,

• The price of a computer was decreased by 30% to £147.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

$= 147 \div 70\%$

=  £210

Therefore we can conclude that the price before the decrease is £210.
