Question

A calculator was bought for Rs435 after getting a discount of 13%. Find the marked price of the calculator.

Answer 1

Answer:

The marked price of calculator will be: Rs 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the marked price

From the question we can deduce that

mrp of calculator - 13% of mrp of calculator = 435

In equation form it can be represented as follows :

$x - \frac{13x}{100} = 435$

$100x -13x = 43500$

$87x = 43500$

$x = 43500 / 87$

$x = 500$

Thus, marked price of the calculator is Rs 500.
