Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is Rs. 1600, find the marked price

Answer 1

SP = Rs 1600
Let MP be x
discount = 20% of x
              =(20/100)x = 0.2x
SP = MP - discount
⇒1600 = x - 0.2x
⇒0.8x = 1600
⇒x = 1600/0.8
      = 2000
∴MP = Rs 2000

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Discount Percentage = 20%

Sale Price = 1600

To Find :-

The marked price

Solution :-

Let the marked Price =

⇒ x - (20x/100) = 1600

⇒ x = 160000/80

⇒ x = 2000

Hence, the marked price is Rs 2000.
