A discount voucher offering 15% off is used to pay a bill, after using the voucher the bill is reduced to £36.72
Answers
The bill before applying the discount voucher was £43.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of the bill after using the discount i.e., S.P. = £36.72
The rate of discount in the discount voucher = 15%
Let the amount in the bill before using the discount voucher i.e., the marked price be £ "x".
Therefore, we know that
S.P. = M.P. - [Discount% of M.P.]
⇒ 36.72 = x - [15% * x]
⇒ 36.72 = x - 0.15x
⇒ 36.72 = 0.85x
⇒ x = 36.72 / 0.85
⇒ x = £43.20 ← amount before applying the discount voucher
