Question

find the selling price of that almirah which is sold for rs.4416 after allowing the discount of 8%

Answer 1

Selling Price after discount = Rs 4416 (Given)

Discount = 8% (Given)

Find the selling price in percentage:

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

Selling Price = 100 - 8 = 92%

Find the selling price before discount:

Selling Price after discount = 92%

Selling Price after discount = Rs 4416

92% = Rs 4416

1% = 4416 ÷ 92 = Rs 48

100% = 48 x 100 = Rs 4800

Answer: The selling price before discount was Rs 4800
