Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{Answer:}}}}$

$\large{\boxed{\sf{\red{ ₹2000}}}}$

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{Explanation:}}}}$

$\displaystyle{\sf{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:Amount\:paid\:=\:₹1600}}$

$\displaystyle{\sf{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:Discount\:rate\:=\:20\%.}}$

$\displaystyle{\sf{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:100-20=80}}$

$\because$ If αmount pαid is ₹ 80, then the mαrked price = ₹ 100

$\therefore$ If αmount pαid is ₹ 1, then the marked price = $\displaystyle{\sf{₹\dfrac{100}{80}}}$

$\therefore$ If αmount pαid is ₹ 1600, then the mαrked price = $\displaystyle{\sf{\dfrac{100}{80} \times 1600 = ₹2000}}$

Hence, the mαrked price of the pαir of shoes be ₹ 2000.
