Question

3. Calculate the list price of an article whose selling price is * 81.20 and includes 14% discount.
​

Answer 1

lSince we have given that

Selling price = Rs. 81.20

Discount = 14%

Let the list price be 'x'.

So, it becomes,

\begin{gathered}MP-Discount=SP\\\\x-\dfrac{14}{100}x=81.20\\\\\dfrac{100x-14x}{100}=81.20\\\\\dfrac{86}{100}x=81.20\\\\x=\dfrac{81.20\times 100}{86}\\\\x=94.41\end{gathered}

MP−Discount=SP

x−

14

x=81.20

100x−14x

=81.20

x=81.20

x=

81.20×100

x=94.41
