Question

jaishri bought a saree fot rs 1456 at a discount of 9% .find the marked price of the saree

Answer 1

let marked price be x
discounted =9%of x
=(9/100×x)
rate of saree after discount=1456
it implies that,
x - 9x/100=1456
91x=1456×100
91x=145600
x=145600/91
x=1600
Hence the marked price of the saree was 1600

Answer 2

the value of the marked price is rs 1600
