Question

After allowing a discount of 15% on the marked price of an article, it is sold for Rs 680. Find the marked price of
the article.

Answer 1

sold prices = 680
15% of 680
=1% of 680 = 680/100 = 6.80
=15% of 680 = 102
market price = 680 + 102 = 782
market price is 782

Answer 2

Answer:

The marked price of the article is Rs. 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the article be 'x'.

15% discount on the article marked price = 15x/100.

Total discount = 15x/100

Selling price of the article = x - 15x/100 = 85x/100.

From the problem, it is given that selling price = Rs. 680

85x/100 = 680

x = 680 * 100/85

x = 680 * 20 / 17 = 40 * 20 = 800.

The marked price of the article is Rs. 800.
