Question

The cost of flower vase get increased by 12% if the current cost is really 896 what was it original cost

Answer 1

Let the original cost be X,

then, I made the equation that,

x+(12% of x) = 896,

x+3x/25 = 896,

28x/25 = 896,

Or, x = 896* 25/28

So, x= 800.

NOW, THAT'S THE CORRECT ANSWER.
