Question

A carpenter allows 15 discount on his goods. find marked price of a chair which is sold by him for 680

Answer 1

15/100×x=680
x=680×100/15
x=4533

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the marked price be rupees x

so selling price =market price - discount

market price =selling price + discount

discount%(discount /marked price)×100

discount%=(discount/x)×100

15*x/100=discount

market price=Rs. 680 +15x/100

X=Rs. 680+15X/100

x-15*/100=Rs.680

85*/100=680

x=680*100/25

x=8*100

x=800

The marked price of the good is Rs.800
