Question
The price of a laptop undergoes two consecutive changes
over two months. In the first month, its price decreases by 10%, followed by an increase of 20% in the second month. After these adjustments, the laptop’s price at the end of the second month is ₹39,960. Determine the original price of the laptop before any changes were applied.Solution
Let the original price of laptop was = 100x Price of laptop after 1 month = 90% of 100x = 90x Price of laptop after secondmonth = 120% of 90x = 108x 108x = 39,960 x = 370 original price of laptop = 100x = 37,000
Solve for x in the equation: 3(x + 2) + 2(2x - 5) = 5x + 9
If x = 19, then the value of x5 - 20x4 + 20x3 - 20x2 + 20x - 1 is
