Question

The price of a suit is increased by 12%. If the present price is 896 Rs , find its original price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let be the original price of the suit be x.

Then, (100 +12)%

= 112%

So, x*112 % = 896

x *112/100 = 896

x= 896 * 100/112

x = 89600 / 112

Hence ,

x = 800

The original price is 800
