Question

Rehana got 24% discount on her frock. She paid ₹380 after discount. Find the marked price of the frock.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\blue {Given\: that:-}$

• Let, marked price of the frock be ₹x

• Then the discount is 24% of x

• She paid x - 24% of x (i.e.380)

$\green {Solution:-}$

$\sf \implies \: x - \dfrac{24}{100} \times x = 380$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{100x - 24x}{100} = 380$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{76x}{100} = 380$

$\sf \implies \: x = \dfrac{380 \times 100}{76}$

$\sf \implies \: x = \cancel \dfrac {3800}{76}$

$\sf \implies \: x = 500$

$\therefore \: Marked \: price = ₹ 500$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\blue {Given \:that:-}$

• Let, marked price of the frock be ₹x

• Then the discount is 24% of x

• She paid x - 24% of x (i.e.380)

$\green {Solution:-}$

$\sf \implies \: x - \dfrac{24}{100} \times x = 380$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{100x - 24x}{100} = 380$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{76x}{100} = 380$

$\sf \implies \: x = \dfrac{380 \times 100}{76}$

$\sf \implies \: x = \cancel \dfrac {3800}{76}$

$\sf \implies \: x = 500$

$\therefore \: Marked \: price = ₹ 500$
