Question

Alistar paid £1643 for a holiday in 2012.
this was an increase of 6% on the cost of the same holiday in 2011.
Calculate the cost of the holiday in 2011.


Can someone please help

Answer 1

Increasing by 6% is the same as multiplying by 1.06
so
\[ \text{2011 price} \times 1.06 = 1643\]

I'll leave the last bit to you

Answer 2

Do i have to divide 1643 by 1.06 then?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

Thankyou
