Question

Rahul bought a sweater and saved ₹20 when a discount of 25% was given. What was the price of the sweater before the discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of sweater before discount = x

Amt. Rahul saved = Rs20

% of discount = 25%

25% of x = Rs20

25/100×x = 20

x = 20×100/20

x = 20×4

x = 80

Price of sweater before discount = Rs80

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the sweater before the discount be “$x$”.

After discount money saved$=Rs.20$

So,$25$% of $x=20$

$\frac{25}{100}\timesx=20$

$x=\frac{20\times100}{25}$$x=20\times4$x = (20×100)/25

$x=80$

Hence, the price of the sweater before the discount is Rs. 80.
