Question

The price of a shirt is reduced by 12% in a discount sale. If its present price is 2 1188, find
its original price​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the original price of the shirt is Rs x.

Discount on the shirt = 12%

So, value of discount on the shirt = 12% of Rs x

= Rs = Rs

Value of the shirt after discount = Rs

= Rs = Rs

Present price of the shirt = Rs 1188

Then, Rs = Rs 1188

⇒ 88x = (1188 100)

⇒ 88x = 118800

∴ x = = 1350

Hence, the original price of the shirt is Rs 1350.
