Question

On decreasing the price of T.V by 12%, the price becomes 44000. What was the original price of the T.V?

Answer 1

Let the original price of T.V = Rs x
The price of T.V after decreasing by 12% = 44000
Therefore
x - 12% of x = 44000
x - 12/100*x = 44000
x - 12x/100 = 44000
100x - 12x = 44000 * 100
88x = 44000*100
x = 44000*100/88 = Rs 50000

Thus, the original price of T.V = Rs 50000
