Answer 1

$15\%$ increase in the price of an article, which is $₹1620$ is the increase of $₹212$

Let $x$ is the price of the article$.$

Thus, as per given question

$1620=x+x\times \left(\frac{15}{100}\right)$

$1620=\frac{115x}{100}$

$115x=1620\times 100$

$x=\frac{1620\times 100}{115}$

$x=1408$

Therefore, increase in price $=1620-1408$

$=₹212$

Hence$,$increase in price is $₹212$
