Resolving a mathematical question and baby thinking

 A certain school's tuition fees increased by 8%. If this school charges a monthly fee of R$468.72 after the increase, what was the monthly fee before the increase?

b)434,00

One important thing about percentages is that by adding 8% and subtracting 8% we don't get back to the initial value of 100, I like to use 100% which means 1 in the sense of integer, so 1 means that I have the integer of that, 100+8%=108 - 8%= 99.36 I used 100 so you can be sure that I convert it without loss to 99.36% and multiply that by any value like I was calculating for 36 reais so 36 * 99.36% = 35.7696.


For this case it's 100% + 8% = 108%,


I want 100% without a rule of 3, so to be more direct, divide the value by 108 and multiply by 100 and you'll have the result as the slave of the wall mirror said, I'll let you live in the bathroom mirror, it's also a nice mirror.

Baby thinking, thanks God my mother explain 100% before I think about I was in school studing the units, dezenas centenas and thousands, but I was thinking in per 10 and per 12, and that wasn't easy becuas who taught me the dozen had days that didn't knew if dozen was 12 or 6, so I was thinking in pairs of 10 and 12 and how many times I got some number of 10 or 12 and what was the diference, so I count 12, 12, 12 and 12, what passes was like ot the trash can, because instinctively I see I need a method so what passes of 12 had no meaning, I would not went to any place without thinking that was to the trash, and got 3 of the 12 3 of the 12 and 3 of 12, I had a fear that the Universe was 6 and not 12, so one day I would prove that dozen was more reasonablr be 12 and not 6, I didn't knew the fraction so everything that passes 12 was to the trash, and my parents let I have my devaneios, so thank God she said about the percentagem.
