Question

In an annual sale there was a flat discount of 40% on all items. Kamal bought a pair of jeans for Rs. 480. What is labelled price of the pair of jeans.?

Answer 1

Solution :

__________

Let the Labelled Price be X

Discount = 40%

It means jeans are sold at 60% of the labelled price

60% of X = 480 ( Amount paid to by jeans)

X = (480x100) / 60

= 800

So, the Labelled price is ₹ 800

Answer 2

Given:

Discount = 40 %

Cost = 480 rupees

To find:

The labelled price

Solution:

If 40 % was discounted, then the jean was sold at 60% of the original cost

Then,

60 / 100 of Original cost = 480  

Original cost = ( 480 * 100 ) / 60

Hence, Labelled price = 800  Rupees
