Question

A dinner set was bought for 2464 after getting a discount of 12%on its Marked price . find the marked price of the dinner set.

Answer 1

let's assume the marked price to be 100x. then 12%
discount allows the customer to buy it at (100x-12x)=88x. it is given that 88x=2464. Then x=28.So marked price is ₹2800.

Answer 2

Answer:

let let the marked price of the dinner set be x

= given selling price = 2464

= given discount = 12%

= discount = 12% of marked price

= 12% of x

= 12x/100

we know that selling price = marked price - discount

= 2464 = x - ( 12x / 100 )

= 2464 = 88x / 100

= 2464 × 100 = 88x

= 246400 = 88x

x = 246400 / 88

x = 2800 answer
