Question

A jacket was sold for Rs.1,120 after allowing a discount of 20%. Find the marked price of the Jacket?

Answer 1

x-20%x= 1120

100x-20x= 112000

80x= 112000

x= 112000/80

x= 1400

the marked price was Rs. 1400

Answer 2

Solution :

Selling price of a Jacket

(s.p) = Rs1120

discount (d) = 20%

Let the marked price = m

m = ( s.p × 100 )/( 100 - d )

= ( 1120 × 100 )/( 100 - 20 )

= ( 1120 × 100 )/80

= 14 × 100

= Rs 1400

Therefore ,

marked price (m) = Rs1400
