Question

The selling price of a watch is Rs. 270. If this watch was
sold at 10% discount on marked price, what was the
marked price ?
(Ans: Rs. 300)​

Answer 1

selling price=MP*(100-discount )/100

MP*(100-10)/100=270

MP*90/100=270

MP=270*10/9

MP=2700/9

MP=300 rs.

Answer 2

Answer :

• Marked Price (M.P.) of the watch = ₹300.

Step-by-step Explanation :

Given that :

• Selling price (S.P.) of a watch = ₹270.
• Discount on which the watch sold = 10%.

To find :

• Marked Price (M.P.) of the watch.

Formula Used :

• M.P. = ( 100 × S.P. ) / ( 100 - D ).

Finding the Marked Price (M.P.) :

ㅤㅤ→ M.P. = ( 100 × S.P. ) / ( 100 - D ).

Substituting the known values :

ㅤㅤ→ M.P. = ( 100 × 270 ) / ( 100 - 10 ).

By Multiplication we get :

ㅤㅤ→ M.P. = ( 27000 ) / ( 90 )

By Division we get :

ㅤㅤ→ M.P. = ₹300.

.°. Marked Price (M.P.) of the watch is ₹300.
