Question

After decreasing 24% in the price of an article cost rs.912.find the actual cost of an article

Answer 1

After decreasing 24% in the price of an article cost Rs. 912. The actual cost of an article will be Rs. 1200 .

The actual cost of the article can be calculated as follows:

• Let us consider that the actual cost of the article is "x".

• Since, the decrease in price = 24 %

                                                       = 0.24

• Now, after the decrease in price the cost will be-

x - 0.24 x = 912

0.76 x = 912

x = 912 / 0.76

x = 1200

• Therefore, the actual cost of the article will be Rs. 1200
