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

let orignal cp be x

=discount = 20%

=cp after discount = 1600

=(100-20)% of x = 1600

=80% of x = 1600

formula for x = 80/100 * x = 1600,

4/5*x = 1600

1600*5/4 =2000

marked price = 2000 rupees
