Question

A trouser was sold for ₹720 after allowing a discount of 10% on its marked
price. Determine the marked price of the trouser.​

Answer 1

Answer:

marked price is 800

explanation

given

let marked price be "m"

discount on marked =10%

selling price = rupees 720

formula:

Marked price = discount + selling price.

discount = discount % × marked price

= 10/100× m

discount = m

10

m = m + 720

10

m= m+7200

10

10m = m+7200

10m - m = 7200

9m = 7200

m = 7200

9

therefore marked price = 800
