Answer 1

Answer:

Marked price of the oven was Rs. 6236.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Selling price of oven = ₹5,301

Discount percentage = 10%, 5%

Solution,

Suppose, the marked price of the oven was Rs. 100. The discount given was total 15(10 + 5)%, therefore the customer got it for 100 - 15 = 85 rupees. That is, if the selling price was 85 rupees, the marked price was 100 rupees. Let us assumr that the actual marked price of the oven, which was sold for Rs. 5301, was x.

$\frac{85}{100} = \frac{5301}{x} \\ x = \frac{5301 \times 100}{85} \\ x = 6236$

Therefore, marked price of the oven was Rs. 6236.

Answer 2

sp2 when selling price when 5% dis.

sp2 = 9x/10 - 5/100 × 9x/10

5301= 9x - 45x/100

5301=900x- 45x=855x/1000 =

530

=>x=5301 × 1000

. _________. =6200

. 855

mp = 6200
