Given, 6 batteries for £2.79
(They are of same type, so each of them are of same cost. )
~Simply divide the total price of 6 batteries by 6 to get the price of each battery,




Thus, cost of each battery is <u>£</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>4</u><u>6</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>ans)</u>
(3/5) : (15/6) ===> (3/5) X (6/15) = 18/75 =6/25
Answer:
380
Step-by-step explanation:
285 / x = 75 / 100
Cross multiply 28500 = 75x
Divide by 75 380
Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
