The price of a ring was increased by 30% to £325 what was the price before the increase

Mark brainliest please

Answer is : Price before increase is £250

Explaination:

Let the Original price of a ring = x

Increase price( g) = 30%
New price(n) = £325

x = ( 100*n)/ (100+g)
x= (100*325)/(100+30)
x= (200*325)/130
x= 250

Therefore price before increase is £250

Another method:

Given that after 30% increases,
the cost of the ring is £325 so we can assume that 130% (100+30) is £325.

Now, we have to form an expression in term of x where x represents the original cost :

130/100*x=325

Solving x

x= 250

So the original price or price before the increase is £250
