Question

The price of a holiday was decreased by 12 percent to 600 . What was the price before the decrease?

Answer 1

Price before decrease = x

If price before decrease is 100, then price after decrease = 100- 12 = 88

100:88 = x:600

100/88=x/600

100/88 ×600 = x

681.82 =x

Price before decrease =681.82
