A table increased in price by 4/5. After the increase it was priced at £117. What was the original price of the table?

£65

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the table is unknown, so let x = original price of the table.

The price, x, increased by 4/5 of the price, so the increase is 4/5 x.

The total price after the increase is x + 4/5 x = 5/5 x + 4/5 x = 9/5 x.

The price after the increase is £117.

9/5 x = 117

5/9 * 9/5 x = 5/9 * 117

x = 65

£65

£ 93.60 p

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure if I am fully correct but what I did , I divide 117 / 5 and then x by 4 to give me the price

(117/5 ) x 4 = £ 93.60 pence

117 / 5 =  £ 23.40 p x 4 = £ 93.60 pence
