Question

A shirt was sold for ₹425 after allowing 15% discount on marked price. Find the marked price of shirt. fast​

Answer 1

Answer:

rs.520

Step-by-step explanation:

MP of shirt (including discount ) = Rs. 442

Discount = 15%

If the MP after adding discount was Rs. 100 then the discount would be Rs. 15 and so the MP without discount will be Rs. 85.

ATQ (according to the question)

MP of shirt before discount was added = (100/85) × 442

= Rs. 520.

Therefore, the marked price of the shirt is Rs. 520.

Answer 2

Given: A shirt was sold for Rs. 425 after allowing 15% discount on marked price.

To find: Marked price of shirt

Explanation: Let the marked price of shirt be x.

15% discount on marked price is given.

Therefore, when 15% of marked price is subtracted from the marked price, the selling cost is found.

Now,

Marked price- 15% of marked price = Selling price

=> x - 15x/100 = 425

=> x - 3x/20 = 425

=> 17x/20 = 425

=> x = 425*20/17

= 500

Therefore, the marked price of the shirt is Rs. 500.
