Question

the price of a shirt is reduced by 12%in a discount sale. if its present price is 1188, find its original price

Answer 1

let the original price of a short = x

x = present price*100/ (100- discount%)

x = 1188 * 100/(100-12)

x= 1188* 100/ 88

x= 1350

original price = x= 1350

Answer 2

Answer:

1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP be x, therefore

x - 12% of x = 1188

x - 12x/100 = 1188

88x/100 = 1188

x = 1188 × 100 / 88

= 1350
