Answer 2

Answer:

The Marked Price of the article is Rs. 20,000 and discount allowed was of Rs. 2,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Article was sold at = Rs. 18,000

At Discount = 10%

Marked Price = ??

★ Finding the Marked price :

Using the formula :

$\boxed{\rm{MP = \dfrac{(100 \times SP)}{(100 - Discount \: \%)}}}$

• SP = 18,000
• Discount % = 10

$\longrightarrow{\rm{MP = \dfrac{(100 \times 18,000)}{(100 - 10)}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\rm{\rm{MP = \dfrac{18,00,000}{90}}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\rm{\rm{MP = \dfrac{1,80,000}{9}}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\rm{\rm{MP = 20,000}}}$

Marked Price = Rs. 20,000

_____________________

★ Amount of discount allowed =

$\longrightarrow{\rm{Discount = (MP - SP)}}$

• MP = 20,000
• SP = 18,000

$\longrightarrow{\rm{Discount =20,000 - 18,000}}$

$\longrightarrow{\rm{Discount =2,000}}$

Discount allowed = Rs. 2,000

Therefore, the Marked Price of the article is Rs. 20,000 and discount allowed was of Rs. 2,000.
