Question

In a sale, the price of a dress was reduced by 30%. If Lucky paid ₹38.50 for the dress, what was its original price?

• A. ₹26.95
• B. ₹55
• C. ₹52
• D. ₹45

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹55

The price of the dress was reduced by 30%, so Lucky paid 70% of the original price.

We need to find the original price.

Hence, 70 % of the original price = 38.50
$\frac{70}{100}$ $\times$ original price = 38.50

Hence, the original price $=\frac{38.50\times 100}{70}$
$=₹55$
