Question

after a discount of 14% a toy was sold for 215 rs what was the market price of the toy

Answer 1

let the market price of toy was ' ₹ x '

Find the discount :
-------------------------

discount allowed = 14 %

discount = 14 % of x = ₹ 0.14 x

since , the toy was sold for ₹ 215 then ,

Find the market price :
-------------------------------

Market price - discount = selling price

x - 0.14 x = 215

0.86 x = 215 => 86x ÷ 100 = 215

86x = 21500 => x = 21500 ÷ 86

x = ₹ 250

therefore ,market price of toy = ₹ 250

Answer : market price = ₹ 250
