Question

On the occasion, a saree is sold for Rs 720 after allowing 20% discount. What is the marked price? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original/market price be x.

Discount is 20%

Selling price is 720 Rs.

We know that:

Discount = (Discount%×MP)/(100)

Discount = (20/100)x

Discount = 1x/5 Rs.

Now, SP = Market price - discount

720 = x - 1x/5 ---- [ x is market price]

720 = 0.8x

x = 720÷0.8

x = 900 Rs.
