Question

a shop keeper allows 20 percent discount on the marked price of his articles. Find the marked price of of an article for which he charges rs 560

Answer 1

Hey sup!

As per the question,

Let the marked price be x.

Discount=20%.

So selling price= x(1-20/100).

=x(80/100).

=80x/100.

Also selling price=560.

So, 80x/100=560.

=>x=560/80 ×100.

=>x=7 × 100

=>x=700.

So Marked price= 700Rs.

Hope it helps.
