Question

arun bought a pair of skates at a slae where the discount given was 20%. if the amount he pays is $ 1,600, find the marked price​

Answer 1

The amount he paid =Rs. 1600

Discount =20%

Let the MP be Rs. x.

According to the question,

x−  20X/100 =1600

80x=160000

x=2000

MP=Rs. 2000

Hence, this is the answer

Answer 2

20% was discount so arun gave only 80% amount

So, 80% of real amount is Rs 1600

Let x be the real amount

80×x/100 = 1600

8x/10 =1600

x= 16000/8

x= 2000$

So the real marked price is 2000$

If we want to cross check

80% of $2000 should be 1600$

80×2000/100 = x

1600 =x

Hope it helped you dear friend
