Answer 1

Given ,

SP = ₹13,489

Disc = 18%

To Find :-

The marked price.

Solution :-

Let the MP be ₹x

Discount in rupees = 18% of ₹x

$=\: {\dfrac{18 \times x}{100}}$

$=\: {\dfrac{9x}{50}}$

SP = MP - Discount

$=\: x\: -\: {\dfrac{9x}{50}}$

$=\: {\dfrac{50x - 9x}{50}}$

$=\: {\dfrac{41x}{50}}$

Also given that SP = ₹ 13489

$=>\: 13489\: =\: {\dfrac{41x}{50}}$

$=>\: x\: =\: {\dfrac{13489 \times 50}{41}}$

=> x = 16450

Therefore, Marked Price is ₹16,450
