Question

A shopkeeper allows 20% discount on the Marked price of his articles find the Marked price of an article for which he charges rupees 560

Answer 1

Let the marked Price be Rs a

Discount percent = 20

=> Discount × 100 / Marked Price = 20

=> Discount × 100 /a = 20

=> Discount = 20a/100

=> Discount = a/5

Now,

Marked Price - Discount = Selling price

=> a - a/5 = 560

=> 4a/5 = 560

=> a = 560 ×5 / 4

=> a = 140 × 5

=> a = 700

Marked Price = Rs 700

Answer 2

Discount = 20%

S.P =RS 560

M.P = 100× S.P / 100- DISCOUNT


M.P = 100 × 560 /100 -20

M.P = 100 × 560 / 80

M.P = RS 700
