Question

If an article was sold for rupees 1692 after discount of 6% find the marked price of the article?

Answer 1

Answer:

The market price of the article = Rs 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Selling Price ( SP ) = Rs 1692

Discount Percentage = 6 %

Let, the market price = Rs 100x

Since,

Discount = 6% of 100x

               = 6x

Selling Price ( SP ) = Rs 100x - Rs 6x

              ⇒  Rs 1692 = Rs 94x

              ⇒   x = Rs 1692 / Rs 94

                ∴ x = 18

Therefore,

The market price = Rs 100x

                             = Rs 100 × 18

                             = Rs 1800

∴ The market price of the article = Rs 1800
