Answer is 10000.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The marked price of washing machine = ₹ 10,000.

Given :

• Selling Price = ₹ 8400

• Discount percentage = 16 %

To find :

• Marked Price = ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Marked Price be x.

Selling Price = ₹ 8400.

Discount = 16 %

Discount = 16 % of Marked Price

Substituting the values, we get,

= 16/100 × x

= 16x/100

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get,

➮ 8400 = x/1 - 16x/100

➮ 8400 = (100x - 16x)/100

➮ 8400/1 = 84x/100

➮ 8400 × 100 = 84x

➮ x = ( 8400 × 100)/84

➮ x = 10,000.

Thus, The marked price of washing machine = ₹ 10,000.

Answer 2

AnswEr :

Rs.10000.

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

Washing machine which is sold at Rs.8400 after allowing discount of 16%.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{To\:Find\::}}}}$

The Market price of washing machine.

$\bf{\red{\underline{\underline{Explanation\::}}}}$

Let the Marked price be Rs. r

Selling price = M.P. - Discount

Formula use :

$\bf{\boxed{\bf{S.P.=M.P.- \frac{Discount\:(\%)}{100} \times M.P.}}}}}}$

$\mapsto\sf{r-\dfrac{16}{100} \times r=8400}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{\dfrac{100r-16r}{100} =8400}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{\dfrac{84r}{100} =8400}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{84r=8400\times 100}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{84r=840000}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{r=\cancel{\dfrac{840000}{84} }}\\\\\\\mapsto\sf{\red{r=Rs.10000}}$

Thus;

The Marked price (M.P.) of washing machine is Rs.10000 .
