Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the
amount he pays is 1,600, find the marked price.
​

Answer 1

Given:

Discount percentage:- 20%

Sale price:- 1600

To find:

Marked price.

Solution:

Let the marked price= ₹100

Discount= 20% of ₹100

➡₹$\sf\large\ \frac{20}{100}$×100=₹20

Sale price: ₹(100-20)=₹80

If sale price is ₹80, then marked price= ₹100.

If sale price is ₹1600, then marked price

➡₹$\sf\large\ \frac{100}{80}$ ×1600

$\dashrightarrow\: \underline{\boxed{\bf{\orange{=RS.2000}}}}$
