Given:

Cost of an object increased by 12% and current cost is Rs 896

To find:

Original cost = ?

Method to solve:

# We know original price + 12% of original price is Rs 896.

Let us consider the original price as x

$\\ \\ x + 12\% \: of \: x \: = 896 \\ \: \: \\x + \dfrac{12}{100} \times x = 896 \\ \\ x + \dfrac{12x}{100} = 896$

$\\ \dfrac{100x + 12x}{100} = 896 \\ \\ \dfrac{112x}{100} = 896 \\ \\ 112x = 896 \times 100 \\ \\ 112x = 89600$

$\\ x = \dfrac{89600}{112} \\ \\ x =Rs \: 800$

Required Answer:

Therefore, the original cost of object is Rs 800
