Question

a dinner set was bought for Rs. 2464 after getting a discount of 20 %on its marked price. find the marked price of the dinner set.

Answer 1

Sol:
Selling price of a dinner set = Rs 2464
Discount percentage = 12%

Let the marked price be 'x'.

Discount is always calculated on the marked price.

Discount = (x) ×(12/100) = 3x/25

Marked price - Discount = Selling Price

x - 3x/25 = 2464

22x/25 = 2464

x = 2464 x (25/22)

x = 112 x 25

x = 2800

Therefore, marked price of the dinner set is Rs 2800.

Answer 2

selling price = ₹ 2464
discount % = 20%

marked price ={100÷(100-discount %)× selling price
={100×(100-20)*}×2464
=(100÷80)×2464

=5÷4×2464
=5×616
