Answer:
£ 170 .
Step by step explanation :
Given that the price of a computer was decreased by 20% to £136. And we need to find the Original price before the decrease. So , let the earlier price be x ,
Decrease in 20 % :-
⇒ Decreased price = 20% of x
⇒ Decreased price = 20/100 × x
⇒ Decreased price = x/5
New price :-
⇒ New price = x - x/5
⇒ New price = 5x - x/5
⇒ New price = 4x/5.
But its given £ 136 , So
⇒ 4x/5 = £ 136
⇒ x = £ 136 * 5/4
⇒ x = £ 170
