Question

Dinesh bought an article for Rs 400 which included a discount poinis of 10% on the marked price and GST of 12% on the reduced price. What is the market price of the article?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the marked price be Rs.100

∴ Discount =15% of Rs.100=Rs.15

⇒ Sale-price =Rs.100−Rs.15=Rs.85

Sales-tax =10% of Rs.85=Rs.8.50

∴ Price paid by Dinesh for the article =Rs.85+Rs.8.50=Rs,93.50

When Dinesh paid =Rs.93.50,    M.P.=Rs.100

⇒ When Dinesh paid =Rs.1,       M.P. = Rs. 93.50100

⇒ When Dinesh paid = Rs. 374,       M.P. = Rs. 93.50100×374= Rs.400

Let the marked price be Rs.100

∴ Discount =15% of Rs.100=Rs.15

⇒ Sale-price =Rs.100−Rs.15=Rs.85

Sales-tax =10% of Rs.85=Rs.8.50

∴ Price paid by Dinesh for the article

=Rs.85+Rs.8.50=Rs,93.50

When Dinesh paid =Rs.93.50, M.P.=Rs.100

⇒ When Dinesh paid =Rs.1,

$M.P. = Rs. </p><p> \frac{93.50}{100}$

⇒ When Dinesh paid = Rs. 374,

$M.P. = Rs. </p><p> \frac{100}{93.50}×374$

= Rs.400
