Question

The latest model (2019) of Honda Civic costs $ 28000. This cost is 12% more than its price in 2018. What was its price in 2018?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.24640

Step-by-step explanation:

current price = Rs. 28000

increase% in price = 12%

price in 2018 = current price - increase in price

Now, increase in price is

12% of 28000

i.e. 12/100 × 28000

=12 × 280

=Rs. 3360

So price in 2018 = 28000 - 3360 => Rs. 24640

Answer 2

Answer:

25000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2018 cost price = x

then, According to given data

x + 12% of x = 28000

x + 12x/100 = 28000

112x/100 = 28000

x = (28000×100) ÷ 112

x = 25000

Therefore, 2018 price is 25000 in that 12% means 3000 so 25000 + 3000 = 28000(cost price of 2019)
