Question

The price of a pullover is increased by $12\%$ of the present price is $Rs235.20$ find its original price.

Answer 1

Let the original price be $x$.

Therefore,

according to the problem:

$x+12$% of $x=235.20$

$\frac{112x}{100}=235.20$

$x=\frac{235.20\times 100}{112}$

$x=\frac{23520}{112}$

$=210$

Then,

We get original price of pullover is $210$.
