Step-by-step explanation:

original price is x

Then the decreased price will be ' x - x/6'

Answer:

£90

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it was decreased by 1/6, it is 5/6 of the original price.

divide 75 by 5 to get 15.

15 is 1/6 of the price.

To get the full price, (6/6) multiply 15x6 and you will get 90.
