Answer:

$960

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original amount be = x

Percentage increase is equal to = 12.5%

final amount = original amount + increase

final amount = x + 0.125x

final amount = 1.125x

final amount = 1080 = 1.125x

and then solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{1080}{1.125} \\ \\ x = 960[/tex]

so in the end x is equal to $960

Solve the equation: 1080 = 1.25x
