The original price was: $5.00 found by using percentage.
What is percentage increase?
Percentage increase of a quantity refers to the increase in the quantity by the given percent.
For a quantity, say A, is being manufactured at a rate 'x' per year. If we say that there is an 80% increase in the manufacturing of A, the new manufacturing rate of A will be given by:
x(initial rate) + [tex]\frac{80x}{100}[/tex] (increase in the rate) = final rate
Let x be the original price of the yo-yo.
We are given that upon a 20% increase, the new price became $6.00.
According to the question, [tex]x+\frac{20x}{100} = 6[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex]1.2x = 6
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] x = [tex]\frac{6}{1.2}[/tex] = 5
Thus, the original price of the yo-yo was $5.00.
