Question

An almirah is sold at ₹ 5225 after allowing a discount of 5 percent. Find its marked price
​

Answer 1

Given :

Selling Price = ₹5225

Discount = 5%

To find:-

Marked Price

Solution:-

$\boxed{\rm Formula \ to \ find \ Selling \ price}$

$\boxed{ \rm SP = \Bigg ( \dfrac{100-D\%}{100} \Bigg )MP}$

Using this formula,

$\implies\rm 5225 = \Bigg ( \dfrac{100-5}{100} \Bigg )MP$

$\implies\rm 5225 = \dfrac{95}{100}MP$

$\implies\rm 5225 = \dfrac{19}{20}MP$

$\implies\rm MP = \dfrac{5,225 \times 20}{19} = 5,500$

Marked Price = ₹5,500

Note:-

These types of problems can be used by using the other formulas too.

Answer 2

Answer:

M.P = 5500

Step by Step Explanation:

S.P = ₹ 5225

Discount % (D%) = 5 %

M.P = x

Discount = D% of M.P

= 5% × x

= 5/100 × x = 1/50 × x =0.05

S.P = M.P - Discount

5225 = x - 0.05x

5225 = 0.95x

x = 5225 × 100/0.95 × 100 = 522500/95 = 5500

M.P = 5500
