Question

an item is sold for rs 5,255 after allowing a discount of 5% . Find it's marked price​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.5500

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is given in percentage.

Hence, the M.P. is taken as 100.

Rate of discount =5%

Amount of discount =   5/100*100        

Selling Price = M.P. − Discount

                   =100−5= 95

If S.P. is 95, then M.P. is 100.

When S.P. is 5225,

M.P. = 100/95*5255  

∴ M.P. of the almirah = 5,500.
