Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

MP = Rs. 5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

1. Sale price = sp= 5225

2. Discount% = 5%

3. Marked Price = MP = ?

MP = 100 - discount/100 * SP

MP = 100/100 - 5 * Rs. 5225

MP = 100/95 * Rs. 5225

MP = 100 * Rs. 55

MP = Rs. 5500

Answer 2

M.P = 5500

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
