Question

suresh sold an article for Rs.1840 and made 15% profit on the discounted price he bought. if the discount was 20%, what was the original price?​

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Let the Price of article after discount = Rs x

Profit =15 %

$x+\frac{15}{100}\times x=1840\\\\ \frac{115 x}{100}=1840\\\\ x=\frac{1840 \times 100}{115}\\\\x=\frac{8000}{5}\\\\x=1600$

It was price of article after discount.

Let,the actual price of article=Rs y

Discount = 20 %

$y-\frac{20y}{100}=1600\\\\ \frac{80 y}{100}=1600\\\\y=\frac{1600\times 100}{80}\\\\y=20\times 100\\\\y=2,000$

So, original price of Article = Rs. 2,000
