$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

STEP 1: Form the equation:

100 - 20 = 80%

The article was sold at 80% of the price.

The article was sold at Rs 560.

80% = Rs 560

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Find the marked price:

80% = Rs 560

1% = 560 ÷ 80 = Rs 7

100% = 7 x 100 = Rs 700

.............................................................................................

Answer: The marked price of the article is Rs 700.

Answer 2

the marked price is 700 because
700×20÷100=140
140=20% of rs 700
if we subtract 140 in700 then we get 560
700-140= 560
