Question

A 12percent increase in the school fee of class is 108 what is the original fee

Answer 1

Answer:

the original fee is 96.4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original fee of class be x

then, increase in fee will be x + 12% of x

to denote % in fraction, we divide it by 100.

x + (12/100)x = 108

x + 0.12x = 108

1.12x = 108

dividing both sides by 1.12,

1.12x/ 1.12 = 108/1.12

x= 96.4

the original fee is 96.4

Answer 2

Answer:

original fee is 900

Step-by-step explanation:

12/100 x = 108

0.12x = 108

x = (108×100) /12

x = 10800/12

x = 900
