Answer 1

✬ M.P = Rs 10,000 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Selling price is Rs 9250.
• Discount percent is 7.5%.

To Find:

• What is the Marked price ?

Solution: To find Marked Price (M.P) when S.P & Discount % are given we use the formula

★ M.P = ( S.P $\times$ 100 )/100 – Discount %

Put the values on formula

$\implies{\rm }$ M.P = (9250 $\times$ 100)/100 – 7.5

$\implies{\rm }$ M.P = (925000/92.5)

$\implies{\rm }$ M.P = (925000 $\times$ 10/925)

$\implies{\rm }$ M.P = (9250000/925)

$\implies{\rm }$ M.P = Rs 10,000

Hence, the Marked Price is Rs 10,000.

$\green{\underline \bold{Given :}}$

$\:\:$

$\large{\orange{\underline{\tt{Solution :-}}}}$

$\:\:$

$\underline{\bold{\texttt{We know that :}}}$

$\:\:$

$\sf M.P = \dfrac { ( S.P \: \times \: 100 )} { 100 } \:$ – Discount %

$\:\:$

Let us firstly look some terms used above ,

$\:\:$

• M.P : The price on the label of an article/product is called the marked price or list price.

$\:\:$

• S.P : Selling price is the price at which a product or service is sold to the buyer.

$\:\:$

$\sf \longmapsto M.P = \dfrac{ 9250 \times100} { 100 }$ – 7.5

$\:\:$

$\sf \longmapsto M.P = \dfrac { 925000} { 92.5}$

$\:\:$

$\sf \longmapsto M.P = \dfrac { 925000 \times 10} { 925 }$

$\:\:$

$\sf \longmapsto M.P = \dfrac { 9250000} { 925}$

$\:\:$

$\bf \dashrightarrow M.P \: = \: Rs \: 10,000$

$\:\:$

Hence,

$\:\:$

Marked Price is Rs 10,000

$\:\:$

So,
