Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%.If the amount he pays is rs 1800,find the marked price.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the marked price = x

then x – 20x/100 = 1800

100x – 20x/100 =1800

80x/100 = 1800

x = 1800×100/80

x = 2250

marked price = ₹2250

=========================================

★ Let the Marked price (M.P) be x.




★ Then, Discount,

= discount% of M.P
= 20% × x
= 20/100 × x
= 1/5 × x
= x/5




★ And, selling price (S.P),

= M.P - discount
= x - x/5
= (5x - x)/5
= 4x/5




★ But, given S.P = 1800

=>>> 4x/5 = 1800

=> x = 1800 × 5/4

=> x = 9000/4

=> x = 2250
