Question

marked price of an item sold at rupees 5,225 after allowing a discount of 5% is

Answer 1

Answer:

The marked price is Rs 5,500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be M, selling price be P and discount be D.

Then, we have P = M (1 - D)

Here, D = 5% = 0.05 and P = 5,225

M = P / (1 - D) = 5225 / (1 - 0.05) = 5225 / 0.95 = 5500

Hence, marked price, M = Rs 5,500
