To find the original price of the pair of shoes, we need to reverse the 12% increase in price.
Step 1: Calculate the increase in price
12% of the present price (896 rupees) can be found by multiplying 896 by 12% or 0.12:
Increment = 896 * 0.12 = 107.52 rupees (approx.)
Step 2: Subtract the increase from the present price to find the original price
Original price = Present price - Increment
Original price = 896 - 107.52 = 788.48 rupees
Therefore, the original price of the pair of shoes is approximately 788.48 rupees.
simple math; if at (100+12)% the value is 896 then what is at 100%.
