Answer 1

Selling price = ₹ 5225

Discount% = 5%

Market price = ?

Let the market price be x.

Then,

x - (x × 5/100) = 5225

=> x - x/20 = 5225

=> 19x/20 = 5225

÷> x = (5225 × 20)/19

=> x = ₹ 5500

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
