Answer 2

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

We will let the original cost of saree equal to x.

So, making the required equation.

$11\% \times x = 115$

$\Rightarrow \frac{115}{100} \times x =115$

We will separate the variable terms from other terms.

$x = \frac{115\times 100}{115}$

$x = \frac{11500}{115}$

$x = 100$

So, the original price of the saree is Rs. 100.
