Answer:
The orignal price is 1350 rupees.
Explanation:
Let us consider that the orignal amount is "X" now the 12% of "X" would be equal to 12 × X ÷ 100 which is reduced from the orignal amount "X" and the final amount is 1188, thus we write it in the form of equation .:
X - (X /100)×12 = 1188
=> X - 12X /100 = 1188
taking LCM on LHS
(100X - 12X)/100 = 1188
=> 88X/100 = 1188
X = (1188 ×100)/88 = 1350
