Question

an item is sold for Rs 5094 after allowing a discount of 18% find the Marked price

Answer 1

Given,

The final selling price = Rs. 5094

Discount percentage = 18%

To find,

The marked price.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let, the marked price = Rs. x

(Assume x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.)

Discount amount = x × 18/100 = Rs. 9x/50

Final price = x - 9x/50 = Rs. 41x/50

According to the data mentioned in the question,

41x/50 = 5094

x = 5094 × 50/41

x = 6212.19

Hence, the marked price was rs. 6212.19
