Question

An admirah is sold at rupees 5225 after allowing a discount of 5%.find its marked price.

Answer 1

let the mark price be x

A/Q

SP = MP - DIS

5225 = x - ( 5℅ of x )

5225 = x - x/20

5225 = 19/20x

x = 5225 × 20 / 19

x = 5500

Answer 2

SP = Rs 5225

Let MP be x

discount = 5% of x

             =(5/100)x = 0.05x

SP = MP - discount

⇒5225 = x - 0.05x

⇒0.95x = 5225

⇒x = 5225/0.95 = 5500

∴MP = Rs 5500
