Answer 2

Questions:-

(a) Discount = ₹ 550 and Discount % = 10%.

(b) Discount = ₹ 394.9 and Discount % = 15%.

Answers :

We know that,

$\boxed{ \sf \bold {\star \: Discount \: Percent = \cfrac{Discount}{Market \: price} \times 100}}$

________________________________

(a) Discount = ₹ 550 and Discount % = 10%.

Put discount and discount percent in Discount percent formula,

$\implies \sf 10 = \cfrac{550}{Market \: price} \times 100$

$\implies \sf Market \: price \times 10 = 550 \times 100$

$\implies \sf Market \: price = \cfrac{550}{ \cancel{10}} \times \cancel{100}$

$\implies \sf Market \:price = 550 \times 10$

$\implies \sf Market \:price = 5500$

Therefore,

Market price is ₹ 5500.

(b) Discount = ₹ 394.9 and Discount % = 15%.

Put discount and discount percent in Discount percent formula,

$\implies \sf 15 = \cfrac{394.9}{Market \: price} \times 100$

$\implies \sf Market \: price \times 15 = 394.9 \times 100$

$\implies \sf Market \: price = \cfrac{394.9}{ \cancel{15}} \times \cancel{100}$

$\implies \sf \cfrac{394.9}{3} \times 20$

$\implies \sf \cfrac{7898}{3}$

$\implies \sf 2632.66$

Therefore,

Market price is ₹ 2632.66 .
