Given,

The selling price of an almirah is rs. 5225

Discount percentage is 5%

To find,

The marked price of the almirah (excluding discount).

Solution,

Let,the marked price of the almirah = rs. x

[ Assume, x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.]

So, the discount amount = x × 5/100 = rs. x/20

The selling price = x - x/20 = rs. 19x/20

Now,if we compare the value of selling price that is given in the question and the value of the selling price that we have calculated,then we will get the following mathematical equation,

19x/20 =  5225

x = 5225 × 20/19

x = 5500

Hence,the marked price of the almirah is rs. 5500

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore selling price is equal to the difference of marked price and 5% of marked price. ⇒x=5225×2019=275×20=5500 Rs. So the marked price of the almirah is Rs. 5500.
