Question

A sells his goods at 15% discount .find the price of an article which is sold for Rs 680

Answer 1

Let the price of article be a

According to question

a - 15% of a = 680

=> a - 15a/100 = 680

=> 85a/100 = 680

=> 17a/20 = 680

=> a = 680 * 20 /17

=> a = 40*20

=> a = 800

Original price of article = Rs 800

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the marked price be ₹100.

discount% = 15%

SP = ₹100 - 15

= ₹85

If the SP is ₹85, marked price is ₹100.

If the SP is ₹680, marked price is 100/85 x 680

₹800
