Question

shopkeeper allows a cash discount of 12.5% on a machin customer pays an amount of 437.50 for a machine . At what price is the machine listed​

Answer 1

Let the listed price of machine be x, then x-12.5% of x = 437.50

⇒ x - 12.5x/100 = 437.50

→ (100x - 12.5x)/100 = 437.50

→ 87.5x = 437.50 x 100

→ 87.5x=43750

⇒ x = 43750/87.5 = 500

:: The listed price of machine is Rs. 500

Answer 2
