Question

After allowing a discount of 8% on a toy, it is sold for $ 216.20. Find the marked price of the toys.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

S.P. = $ 216.20

loss% = 8 % (If the shopkeeper has sold the toy at a lesser price then he has a loss)

To find :-

C.P. = $ x

Formulae to use :-

C.P. = (100*S.P.)/(100 - loss%)

How to find :-

So,

C.P. = (100*S.P.)/(100 - loss%)

x = ((216.20)*100)/100-8

x = 21620/92

x = $ 235

Hence the cost price of the toy was $ 235

For your extra knowledge :-

1. C.P. = (100*S.P.)/(100 + profit%)
2. S.P. = (C.P.(100 + profit%))/(100)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let marked price be x

Discount= d% of MP

=$8/100*x

=$8/100x

Selling price= MP- Discount

=$(x-8/100x)

=$92/100x

Acc to the question

92/100x= 216.20

x=216.20*100/92

x= 235

The marked price is $235
