Question

Answer 1

Price is reduced by 12% so present price be = 100 - 12 = 88% of the original price

let the original price be x

88% of x = 1188

88x/100 = 1188

x = 118800/88

x = 10800/8

x = 1350

Answer 2

The original price is 1330.56

explanation:

12% of 1188 is 142.56. As it is reduced in sale, add 142.56 to the present price.

that is 1188+142.56=1330.56
