Question

A shopkeeper sold an electric press for RS1700 to a customer at a discount of 15% .what is the market price of an electric press?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 1955 /-

Explanation:

15%of 1700=255

Market price of electric press=1700+255

=1955

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the market price of the press be x

Price after the discount granted = x - 15/100x

[ 15 % = 15/100 ]

=> 85/100x

Given that at this price the customer has bought the press which is Rs 1700

=> 85/100 x = Rs 1700

=> x = Rs [ ( 1700 ÷ 85) × 100 ]

=> x = Rs ( 20 × 100)

=> x = Rs 2000
