Step-by-step explanation:
Given
the price of a hat is 210. what is the marked price of the hat if it is bought at 16%discount?
Let the marked price be x
We know that selling price = marked price – discount
210 = x – 16/100 x
210 = x – 0.16 x
210 = 0.84 x
Therefore x = 210 / 0.84
So x = Rs 250
Marked price of the hat is Rs 250
Answer:
250 rupees
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked price of an item is always 100 %
When a discount of a certain percentage is given the price reduces
The formulae for discount is
Marked price - selling price
We only have the selling price and the percentage discount the person was given
16% discount means that the buyer bought at
100 - 16 = 84
The buyer bought the item at 84 % meaning that 210 rupees is equivalent to 84 %
If 84 %. = 210 rupees
How about 100%
(100 × 210) ÷ 84
2100 ÷ 84 = 250 rupees
The marked price is therefore 250 rupees
Another method can be employed by finding the discount then adding it to the selling price but this is the easiest and direct method.
