Question

S.P of a pair of shoes is Rs 2401, discount is 2% then find M.P.​

Answer 1

Given,

Selling price = Rs 2401/

Discount = 2%

So, let the marked price be Rs 'x'

That's why:-

$x - \frac{2}{100} x = 2401$

2/100 is used for 2% discount

$\frac{100x - 2x}{100} = 2401 \\ \\ \frac{98x}{100} = 2401 \\ \\ x = \frac{2401 \times 100}{98} \\ \\ x = 24.5 \times 100 \\ \\ x = 2450$

Hence, The Marked Price is Rs 2450/-.

Hope it helps
