Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

85% of selling price is 510

Answer 2

The actual selling price was Rs. 600

Given : A fan was sold for rs 510 after allowing 15% discount.

To find : The actual selling price.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let, the actual selling price = Rs. x

The discount amount :

= x × 15%

= x × 15/100

= Rs. 3x/20

The final selling price :

= Actual selling price - The discount amount

= x - (3x/20)

= (20x-3x)/20

= Rs. 17x/20

According to the data mentioned in the question,

17x/20 = 510

x = 510 × 20/17

x = 600

Actual selling price = Rs. x = Rs. 600

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the actual selling price is Rs. 600
