Answer:
The price before the increase was £21.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, let the former price before the increment be £x
The increment would be 22-x
Mathematically, the percentage increment = difference between the prices/old price * 100%
Thus, we have(
(22-x)/x * 100 = 4
100(22-x) = 4x
2200-100x = 4x
100x + 4x = 2200
104x = 2200
x = 2200/104
x = 21.154
which is x = 21.2 to the nearest penny
Answer:
21.15
Step-by-step explanation:
22 × 10 = 220
100%+4%=104
104 ÷ 10 = 10.4
220 ÷ 10.4 =21.15384615
To the nearest penny it would be 21.15
