Question

On the eve of Gandhi Jayanti, a saree is sold for Rs. 720 after allowing 20% discount. What is its marked price?

Answer 1

Answer:-

$\small \bf \underline{Given:}$

★★ Selling price of the saree = ₹720

★★ Discount on the saree = 20%

$\small \bf \underline{To \: find:}$

We need to find the marked price of the saree

$\small \bf \underline{Solution:}$

$\bf» \: Discount\% = \frac{Discount}{Marked \: price} \times 100$

$\small\bf Therefore , \: Discount = \frac{Discount\% \times \: Marked \: price }{100}$

Let the marked price of the saare be x

$\bf \therefore \: Discount = \frac{20 \times \: x }{100} =₹ 0.02x$

» Selling price = Marked price - Discount

$\bf \implies \: 720 = x - 0.02x$

$\bf \implies \: 720 = 0.80x$

$\bf \implies \: x = \frac{720}{0.80}$

$\bf \implies \: x =₹ 900$

Answer: Marked price of the saree = ₹900

Given :-

• Selling price of the Saree = ₹ 720
• Discount % on the Saree = 20%

$\large \bf \underline{To \: find:}$

• ♡ The marked price of the saree

$\large \bf \underline{Solution:}$

$\bf \: Discount\% = \frac{Discount}{Marked \: price} \times 100$

$\small\bf Therefore , \: Discount = \frac{Discount\% \times \: Marked \: price }{100}$

Let the marked price of the saare be x

$</p><p>\bf \therefore \: Discount = \frac{20 \: \times \: x }{100} =₹ \: \frac{x}{5}$

» Selling price = Marked price - Discount

$\bf \implies \: 720 = x - \frac{x}{5}$

$\bf \implies \: 720 = \frac{5x - x}{5}$

$\bf \implies \: 720 = \: \frac{4x}{5}$

$\bf \implies \: \: x = \frac{720 \times 5}{4}$

$\bf \implies \: x = 900$

$\bf \implies \: Marked  \: price  \: of  \: the \:  saree \:  =  \: ₹ \: 900$
