Question

geeta saved Rs 24 while buying 12 chocolates. A discount of 20% was given by the shopkeeper for every chocolate find the Marked price of each chocolate​

Answer 1

Let M.P of each chocolate=A,

discount=20%,

discount on 12 chocolate=24,

discount on 1 chocolate=24/12=2 RS.

S.P of each chocolate=A×80/100=4A/5,

M.P-S.P=Discount,

A-4A/5 =2,

(5A-4A)/5=2,

A/5=2,

A=2×5=10

Answer 2

let chocolate price=x

save Rs24 on 12 chocolates =24÷12

=Rs 2 on each

discount =20% on each

SP=20/100+12

=1/5+12

=60/5

=Rs 12

marked price = 12-2

=Rs 10
