Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount is given was 20%. If the amount he pays is

₹ 1,600, find the marked price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the mp be x

discount=20/100*x

a/q, 80x/100=1600

80x=1600*100

x=160000/80

x=2000

Step-by-step explanation:

hence mp is 2000

Answer 2

Solution :

Let the marked price be x.

Discount percent = Discount/Marked price x 100

20 = Discount/x x 100

Discount = 20/100 x x

= 1/5 x

AlSO,

Discount = Marked price - Sale price

1/5 x = x - Rs 1600

x - 1/5 x = Rs 1600

4/5 x = Rs 1600

x = Rs 1600 x 5/4

x = Rs 2000

Thus, the marked price was Rs 2000.

Extra information :

Gain = SP - CP

loss = CP - SP

Gain % = gain x 100/CP

Loss % = loss x 100/CP

SP = (100 + gain %) x CP/100

CP = (100 - loss%) x CP/100

Discount % = Discount x 100/market price
