Question

Find the marked price of the shoes, if the shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% on it and sells it a price of ₹1400.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the marked price be x

Discount =20%

Selling price =1400 RS

x-20%of x =1400

x-20x/100 =1400

x×100-20x/100=1400

100x-20 x/100 =1400

100x-20x=1400×100

100x-20x=140000

80x=1,40,000

x=1,40,000/80

x=1750 RS

Marked price of the shoes is 1750 RS

Answer 2

Given :

• Selling Price = Rs 1400
• Discount% = 20%

To Find :

• Marked Price

Formula :

$\red \bigstar \: \color{blue}{\underline{ \color{orange}\boxed{\mathcal {\pmb{ \color{lime}\quad Marked \: Price\: = \: \dfrac{100 \: \times \: Selling \: Price}{100 \: - \: Discount \: \%}\quad}}}}}$

Solution :

${:} \longrightarrow \sf \: Marked \: Price\: = \: \dfrac{100 \: \times \: Selling \: Price}{100 \: - \: Discount \: \%}$

${:} \longrightarrow \sf \: Marked \: Price\: = \: \dfrac{100 \: \times \: 1400}{100 \: - \: 20}$

${:} \longrightarrow \sf \: Marked \: Price\: = \: \dfrac{140000}{80}$

${:} \longrightarrow \sf \: Marked \: Price\: = \: \dfrac{14000}{8}$

${:} \longrightarrow \color{green}{ \boxed{ \color{aqua}\sf \: Marked \: Price\: = \: Rs \: 1750}}$
