Question

A shopkeeper sells an article for Rs.248.50 after allowing a discount of 10%. Find the list price of the article

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\red{HELLO/ MATE}$SELLING PRICE OF THE ARTICLE = RS 248.50.
DISCOUNT GIVEN BY THE SHOPKEEPER = 10%

LET US TAKE THE LIST PRICE BE X.
THEN THE RATE AFTER THE DISCOUNT = X × 90/100=90X/100.

BUT IT IS GIVEN RS248.50. SO
ATQ , 90X/100=RS248.50.
OR X = RS(248.50×100/90)
THEREFORE X= RS 165.



THEREFORE THE LIST PRICE OF THE ARTICLE WAS RS 165.
