Answer 2

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{Question⇒}}$

A shopkeeper allowed 2% discount on the marked price of his articles. Find the marked price of his an article which is sold for ₹ 680.

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{Given⇒}}$

A shopkeeper allowed 2% discount on the marked price of his articles.

SP = ₹ 680

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{To\:find⇒}}$

The Marked Price.

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{Solution⇒}}$

We know that:

SP = MP - Discount

Let the MP be ₹ x.

So, discount = 2% of x.

According to condition,

$x - (2\%×x) = 680$

$➳\:x - ({\frac{2}{100}}×x) = 680$

$➳\:x - {\frac{2x}{100}} = 680$

$➳\:{\frac{100x-2x}{100}} = 680$

$➳\:{\frac{98x}{100}} = 680$

$➳\:98x = 680×100$

$➳\:98x = 68000$

$➳\:x = {\frac{68000}{98}}$

$➳\:x = 693{\frac{43}{49}}$

$➳\:x = 693.88$ (approximately)

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{Hence⇒}}$

MP = ₹ x = ₹ 693.88

$\huge\bold{\mathtt{Therefore⇒}}$

The marked price of the article is ₹ 693.88.
