Answer 1

Marked price of mobile phone is Rs.20000

Answer 2

Answer: The marked price of mobile phone is Rs. 20000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Gain of a shopkeeper by selling a mobile phone = Rs. 3000

Rate of discount = 10%

Gain of a shopkeeper by selling a mobile phone if discount was not allowed = Rs. 5000

So, the difference of their gains is indicating the discount.

Let the marked price of mobile phone be 'x'.

According to question,

$\frac{10}{100}\times x=5000-3000\\\\0.1x=2000\\\\x=\frac{2000}{0.1}\\\\x=Rs.\ 20000$

Hence, the marked price of mobile phone is Rs. 20000.
