Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a discount of 20 percent if amount he pays is 1600 find marked price

Answer 1

Answer:

2000$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is directly proportional

lets keep the marked price as X

he paid 80% of the Marked price after discount.

so

80% - 1600$

100% - X$

cross multiplication

Step 1. X80 = 1600×100

step 2. X80 = 160000

step 3. X = 160000/80

Step 4. X = 2000

So the Marked price of skates is 2000$

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 2000 is the market price.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the market price be x

discount= market price - sale price

= x - 1600

Now,

discount% = discount/ market price × 100

20= (x - 1600/ x) × 100

20x = 100(x - 1600)

20x = 100x - 160000

20x - 100x = - 160000

- 80x = - 160000

x = 160000/80

x = 2000
