QUESTION:-

9. Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is ₹ 1,600, find the marked price.

SOLUTION:-

MONEY ARUN PAID =₹1600

DISCOUNT ON SKATE=20%

AS GIVEN

WE CAN SAY 80%(100-20) OF THE TOTAL COST OF SKATE IS 1600

LET BE THE ORIGINAL COST OF SKATE AS X

80/100×X=1600

80X=160000

X=160000/80

X=2000

SO ACTUAL COST OF SKATE OR MARKET PRICE IS ₹ 2000

Answer 2

⭐ Question :-

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is ₹ 1,600, find the marked price.

⭐ Given :-

• Discount on the skates = 20%

• Amount Arun paid = 1600

⭐ Solution :-

Let the market price be x. According to the question.

⇒Discount % = Market price - sale price / Market price. × 100

⇒20 = x - 1600 / x × 100

⇒20 = 100(x - 1600)/x

Now, we will apply cross multiplication method.

⇒20x = 100x - 160000

⇒20x - 100x = -160000

⇒-80x = -160000

⇒80x = 160000

⇒x = 160000/80

⇒x = 2000

Therefore, the market price of the pairs of skate is Rs.2000.
