Answer 2

SOLUTION

GIVEN

The cost of an object is increased by 12%.

The current cost is ₹ 896

TO DETERMINE

The original cost

EVALUATION

Let the original cost = ₹ 100x

Now the cost of an object is increased by 12%

The amount increased = ₹ 12x

The current cost

= ₹ 100x + ₹ 12x

= ₹ 112x

Now it is given that current cost is ₹ 896

So by the given condition

112x = 896

⇒x = 8

The original cost = ₹ 100 × 8 = ₹ 800

FINAL ANSWER

The original cost = ₹ 800
