Question

after offering discount of 10 percent on marked price, a customer gets total discount of 17 rupees . to find the cost price for the customer, fill in the following boxes

Answer 1

Given that Discount = Rs 17 = 10% of Marked price

⇒ (10/100) × Marked price = Rs 17

⇒ Marked price = 17 × 100/10 = 17 × 10 = Rs 170

And to find the cost price , we will require profit or loss by seller.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.170

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be x

We are given that there is 10% discount

So, Discount = $10% \times x =\frac{10}{100} \times x = 0.1 x$

We are given that a customer gets total discount of 17 rupees

So, $0.1 x = 17\\x = \frac{17}{0.1}\\x=170$

Hence  the cost price for the customer is Rs.170
