      Question

      Bank deposits have increased by 60% during the last

      year. It is now Rs 8440. What was it a year ago? 
      A Rs 5275 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 6270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 5200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 6005 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the amount one year ago be ₹x. Since the deposit increased by 60%, the new amount is: x + 60% of x = 8440 x + 0.60x = 8440 1.60x = 8440 Now, divide both sides by 1.60: x = 8440 ÷ 1.60 x = 5275
