Answer 2

Answer:

135 rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Present price = SP

Original price = CP

Let CP be $x$

According to Question, $x$      - $12/100 x$ = 118.80 rs

$x = 100/100x$

So, $100/100x - 12/100x = 88/100x$

88% of $x$ = 118.80 rs.

So, $x$ $= 118.80 x 100/88 = 135rs$

Hence, Original Price = 135rs
