Question

A box of 6 glasses was bought for
840
after a discount of 20%. Find the marked
price of the box of glasses.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the glasses.

• 20% of x =
• $\frac{20}{100} x = 0.2x$
• The original price is reduced by 20%. It means from "x" , "0.2x" amount was deducted. Hence Final Price =
• $x - 0.2x = 0.8x$
• It is given that the final price is 840
• $0.8x = 840 \\ x = \frac{840}{0.8} \\ x = 1050$
• Hence the original price is 1050

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the S.P be 100

After discount of 20%selling price will be (100-20)=80%

80%=840

1%=840/80

100%=840/80*100

=1050

Therefore marked price is rupees 1050
