Answer 1

Thus he paid 1280 for the trouser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the MP of the trouser = Rs x

Rate of discount = 40%

Discount = 40% of Rs x = Rs(40 x / 100) = Rs (2 x / 5)

Now, 40 % discount on MP of trouser enables a man to buy a shirt of Rs 320.

So, according to question, 2x / 5 = 320

⇒ 2 x = 500 = 1600

x = 1600 / 2 = 800

Now, Marked price of the trouser = Rs 800

Selling price of the trouser = Marked price - Discount

Selling price of the trouser = 1600 - 320 = 1280

Thus he paid 1280 for the trouser.

Let the MP of the trouser = Rs x

Rate of discount = 40%
