Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:235

(In the explanation i have written upon, use the upon in fractional form)

Explanation

Original Price = x

Price after discount = 216.20

Discount = 8%

So according to the situation, we can construct an equation:

x upon 1 - 8% of x = 216.20

x upon 1 - 8x upon 100 = 216.20

We will take LCM of the denominators that is of 1 and 100= 100

100x-8x upon 100 = 216.20

92x upon 100 =216.20

Now its a simple equation so we need the variable on one side:

92x = 216.20X100. (Transposing 100 to R.H.S)

92x = 21620

x = 212620/92. ( Transposing 92 to R.H.S)

x=235
