Question

Jack bought a motorbike. The original price was $1,300, but he got a discount of 20%. What was the discounted price of the bike?

Answer 1

Answer:

Discounted Price = Original price - (Original price X discount percent)

D P = 1300 - (1300 X 20) / 100

D P = 1300 - 260

D. P. = 1040

Answer 2

Answer:

Discounted price of the bike is $Rs.1625$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Discount Percentage $=20 \%$

Sale Price $=1300$

To find:

Discounted price of the bike

Solution:

Let the marked Price $=x$

Discount = Marked Price - Sale price

$=x-1300$

$\text { Discount Percentage }=\frac{\text { Discount }}{\text { Marked Price }} \times 100$

$\begin{gathered}20=\frac{x-1600}{x} \times 100 \\20 \mathrm{x}=100(x-1300) \\20 \mathrm{x}=100 \mathrm{x}-130000 \\20 \mathrm{x}-100 \mathrm{x}=-130000 \\-80 \mathrm{x}=-130000 \\80 \mathrm{x}=130000 \\x=\frac{130000}{80} \\x=1625\end{gathered}$
