Question

a shirt sold at rs 714 after giving 15% discount. Find the marked price. ​

Answer 1

Given,

The final selling price of the shirt is Rs. 714

Discount amount is 15%

To find,

The marked price of the shirt.

Solution,

Let, the marked price of the shirt = Rs. x

(Assume x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.)

Now, the discount amount = (x × 15/100) = Rs. 3x/20

The final selling price = x - 3x/20 = Rs. 17x/20

Now, if we compare the two values of the final selling price, then we will get the following mathematical equation,

17x/20 = 714

x = 714 × 20/17

x = 840

Hence, the marked price of the shirt is Rs. 840
