Question

The cost of an object is increased by 12%. If the current cost is ₹ 896, what was its original cost? Detailed explanation please

Answer 1

Answer:

₹800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost be x then,

x + 12 % of x = 896

$x + \frac{12}{100} \times x = 896 \\ x + \frac{3x}{25} = 896 \\ \frac{25x + 3x}{25} = 896 \\ x = 896 \times \frac{25}{28} \\ x = 800$

Hence ₹ 800 is the original cost
