Answer 2

$\\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{given:} }}}$

• After decreasing 24% in the price , cost is Rs 912.

$\\ \\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{to \: find:} }}}$

• Actual cost of article.

$\\ \\ \large\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \red{solution:} }}}$

Let the actual cost of article be 'x'.

So, According to question,

Total cost - 24% of total cost = 912

$\\ \implies \sf \: x - ( \frac{24}{100} x) = 912 \\ \\ \\ \sf \: taking \: lcm... \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: \frac{100x - 24x}{100} = 912 \\ \\ \\ \sf \: \implies76x = 91200 \\ \\ \\ \sf \: \implies \boxed{ \bf \:x = 1200 \: rupees }$

Hence , actual cost of article is 1200Rs.

Note :-

• In this question , 24% of the total cost is decreased.

24% of x = (24x/100)

So, We subtracted this amount with total amount , and the result was 912Rs.
