Question

an article is sold at 5225 Rs . After allowing a discount of 5% . find its marked price

Answer 1

The price at which article sold=5225
Discount allowed =5%
Market price = Discount allowed + sold price
discount allowed = 5/100 x 5225 = 261.25
Market price = 5486.25

Answer 2

article sale price = 5225
discount = 5%
mp - 5/100 ×mp = sp
mp[1-5/100]= sp
mp = 95/100 = sp = 5225
5225×100/95 = 5500
marked price = 5500

hope it...... helps.......
