Question

one shopkeeper gives 8 % discount on printed price of camera, if he sold the camera for rupees 4600 then what is the printed price of camera?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The shopkeeper sold the camera i.e., S.P. of the camera = Rs. 4600

The rate of discount on the printed price = 8%

Let the printed price or the M.P. of the camera be Rs. "x".

Therefore, we know that

S.P. = M.P. - [Discount% of M.P.]

⇒ 4600 = x - [8% * x]

⇒ 4600 = x – (2/25)x

⇒ 4600 = (25x – 2x)/(25)

⇒ 4600 = 23x/25

⇒ x = (4600*25)/23

⇒ x = 200 * 25

⇒ x = Rs. 5000 ← printed price of the camera
