Question

if a shirt cost 64 after a 20% discount what was its original price

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost after discount =64

Discount=20%

Let Original cost be x

Then,

20%of x =x-64

20/100 *x=x-64

20x=100x-64

6400=80x

X=80

So,the original cost is Rs.80.

Answer 2

Given:

A shirt cost 64 Rs. after a 20% discount.

To find:

The original price of a shirt.

Solution:

The original price of a shirt is 80 Rs.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given in the question, we have,

The selling price of the shirt = 64 Rs.

The discount that is given on the sale of the shirt = 20%.

Let the cost price of the shirt be x Rs.

Now,

$The \: cost \: price \: of \: shirt \times (100\% - discount \: \%) = selling \: price \: of \: shirt$

So,

$x \times ({100\% - 20\%)} = 64$

$x \times \frac{80}{100} = 64$

$x = \frac{100 \times 64}{80}$

$x = 80 \: rs.$

Hence, the original price of a shirt is 80 Rs.
