Question

10. Joseph bought a table for Rs 10,000 after 10% discount. Find the price of the table before the discount

Answer 1

Answer:

11000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price be x.

x - 10% of x=10000

x - 10/100×x=10000

9/10×x=10000

×=10000×10/9

~11000

Answer 2

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{Cost price of the table is Rs. 11111.11.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the table be Rs. x.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x-10\%\times x=10000\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{10}{100}x=10000\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{x}{10}=10000\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10x-x}{10}=10000\\\\\Rightarrow 9x=100000\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{100000}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=11111.11.$

Thus, the required cost price of the table is Rs. 11111.11.
