Question

after a discount of 12% a toy was sold for rupees 132 what was the marked price of the toy?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

We will use this formula:

selling price = marked price - discount

132 = x - x*12/100

132 = x - 12x/100

132= 100x -12x /100

132 = 88x/100

88x = 132

x = 132/100

x = 150

So $150 is the marked price.

If there is any confusion please leave a comment below.

Answer 2

Solution :

It is given that ,

Selling price of a toy (s.p)=Rs132

Discount (d) = 12%

Let the marked price = x

x = ( s.p × 100 )/( 100 - d )

=> x = ( 132 × 100 )/( 100 - 12 )

=> x = ( 132 × 100 )/88

=> x = 150

Therefore ,

Marked price of the toy(x )= Rs150
