1. After decreasing 24% in the price of an article the discounted price becomes $912. Find the actual price of the article?
- A. $1400
- B. $1400
- C. $1400
- D. $1400
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let's denote the actual price of the article as "P."
According to the given information, after decreasing 24%, the discounted price becomes $912. We can represent this as an equation:
P - 0.24P = $912
Now, let's solve for P:
0.76P = $912
Divide both sides by 0.76 to find the actual price:
P = $912 / 0.76 P = $1200
So, the actual price of the article is $1200.
