Question

A shirt was sold for 442 allowing a discount of 15% on marked price. find the MP of the shirt and total discount

Answer 1

Solution :

Selling price of a shirt ( s.p ) = Rs 442

Discount ( d ) = 15%

marked price = m.p

Now ,

m.p = ( 100 × s.p )/( 100 - d )

= ( 100 × 442 )/( 100 - 15 )

= ( 100 × 442)/ 85

= 520

Therefore ,

marked price of the shirt = Rs 520
