Question

In a boutique, all the products are sold at 60% off. If the selling price of a pair of trousers is $96, find the marked price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$160

Step-by-step explanation:

Vocabulary:

Marked Price - The price on the label that the product was intended to be sold.

Selling Price - The actual price that was sold after discount.

Given:

Selling Price = 60% of the marked price

Selling Price = $96

Therefore:

60% of the marked Price = $96

1% of the marked Price = 96 ÷ 60 = $1.60

100% of the marked Price = 1.6 x 100 = $160

Answer: The marked price is $160

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE MARKED PRICE BE x

Discount (D) =60% of x

                    =3x/5

M.P = S.P + D

x = 96-3x/5

x + 3x/5 = 96

5x+3x/5=96

8x/5 =96

x =96*5/8

x = 60

∴ M.P =$ 60
