Question

A dress is sold at ₹ 550 after allowing a discount of 12%. Find its marked price.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

550₹ will be considered 100%  

then 12% wil be given

₹550=100%-12%=88%

??₹ = 100%

then while cross multiplying...

=550*100/88

=₹625

hence marketed price =₹625

Answer 2

Solution :

Selling price of a dress ( s.p ) = Rs 550

Discount ( d ) = 12%

Let the marked price = m.p

Now ,

m p = ( 100 × s.p )/( 100 - d )

= ( 100 × 550 )/( 100 - 12 )

= ( 100 × 550 )/88

= ( 100 × 50 )/8

= 25 × 25

= 625

Therefore

marked price of the dress = Rs 625
