Answer 1

Answer:

The marked price of the sari is ₹12150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the marked price of the sari be x

The discounted price of the sari is given to be ₹9720

The percent of discount is 20%

To find the discounted price of the sari we first multiply the discount percent to the marked price and then subtract it from the marked price.

$\frac{20}{100} x$ is the discount amount

Final discounted price=$x-\frac{20}{100} x=\frac{80}{100} x$

Equating the algebraic discounted price to the given price:

$\frac{80}{100} x=9720\\x=\frac{9720.100}{80} =12150$

The marked price of the sari is ₹12150.
