प्रश्न
The cost of a flower vase got increased by 12%. If the current cost is ₹ 896, what was its original cost?
उत्तर
Let the original cost be ₹ x,
Now, the cost of a flower vase is increased by 12%
So, x + 12% of x = ₹ 896
⇒ `x + 12/100x` = 896
⇒ `(112x)/100` = 896
⇒ x = `(896 xx 100)/112`
∴ x = ₹ 800
Hence, original lost of flower vase is ₹ 800.
