Question

the price of A SUIT IS INCREASE by 12% . if the present price rs 896 find its original price

Answer 1

Hi ,

Present price of the suit = Rs 896

Increse percent = g = 12%

Let the original price = Rs x

Present price = original price × ( 100 + g ) / 100

Rearrenging the formula ,

Original price of the suit

= ( Present price of the suit × 100 ) / ( 100 + g )

= ( 896 × 100 ) / ( 100 + 12 )

= ( 896 × 100 ) / 112

= Rs 800

Therefore,

Original price of the suit = Rs 800

I hope this helps you.
