Answer 1

Answer:

see below :-

Step-by-step explanation:

Hence, the M.P. is taken as 100.

Rate of discount =5%

Amount of discount =

5

×100

= 5.

Selling Price = M.P. − Discount

=100−5= 95

If S.P. is 95, then M.P. is 100.

When S.P. is 5225,

M.P. =

95

100

×5225

∴ M.P. of the almirah = 5,500.

OR

Vignesh used the formula method:

100

)×5225

=

95

100

×5225

= 5,500.
