Question

A sells his goods at 15 percent discount. Find the price of an article which is sold for rs680 .

Answer 1

Let the Price of the article be x.

Applying 15% discount on it, makes it 85% of x.

Accordance to the problem,
85% of x = 680
x = 680*100/85
x = 680*20/17
x = 4*10*20
x = 40*20
x = 800.

Therefore , The price of an article = 800 Rs.

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
