Question

A company reduced the price of an article by 5% . By how much a retailer must increase the new price so as to sell the article at the old price ?

Answer 1

let original be x
after decrease, new price = 0.95 x

if we take it back to x, increase = (x - 0.95x)/0.95 x * 100 = 0.05/0.95 * 100
just simplify..

Answer 2

Thanx a lot bro :)
