Question

help pls!! an amul is sold at Rs 5, 225 after allowing a discount of 5%. find its marked price

Answer 1

Let the marked price be Rs x
Marked price = selling price + discount
discount = 5%of x
so, SP = 95% of x
A/q
95x/100 =5225
⇒x = 5500
Marked price = Rs 5500

Answer 2

let marked price be x
selling price =5225
discount =5%
x=sp×discount÷100
x=5225×5÷100
=1045÷4
=261.25
x=sp+discount
x=5225+261.25
rs.5,486.25
marked price is RS5486.25
