Answer 1

solution

let x be the marked price

we know

marked price (Mp)= selling price+discount %of Mp

or,x=176+20%of x

or,x=176+0.2x ( 20%of x using calculator

or,x-0.2x=176

or0.8x=176

or,x=176÷0.8

:.x=220

The marked price is Rs 220

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the marked price be x.

Atq,

(MP)-(discount)= SP

$= > x - 20\% \: of \: x = 176$

$= > x - \frac{20}{100} \times x = 176$

$= > x - \frac{x}{5} = 176$

$= > \frac{5x - x}{5} = 176$

$= > 4x = 176 \times 5$

$= > x = \frac{176 \times 5}{4}$

$= > x = 44 \times 5$

$= > x = 220$

Hence,marked price = Rs 220
