Question

Vijay purchased a sofa set at 20% discount on the MP. had he bought it with 25% discount, he would have saved 500rupees . at what price did he buy the sofa set?

Answer 1

----------------------------------------

Here is the solution:

----------------------------------------

Find the percentage of the price he bought the sofa at:

Discount - 20%

Price he bought = 100 - 20 = 80%

Find the price he bought:

Difference in percentage = 25 - 20 = 5%

Difference in price = Rs 500

5% = Rs 500

1% = 500 ÷ 5 = Rs 100

80% = 100 x 80 = Rs 8000

Answer: He bought the sofa at Rs 8000

Answer 2

here is your answer OK

Let lebeled price was 100.

Tarun bought = 100 - 20% of 100 = 80.

If Tarun bought it at 25% discount,

= 100 - 25% of 100 = 75.

Difference = 500

80 - 75 = 500.

5 = 500

1 = 500/5

80 = 100 *80 = 8000.
Correct Answer is Rs. 8000.

Alternatively,

Difference = 500

5% = 500.

100% = (500 *100)/5 = 10000.

100% is the lebeled price.

So, TV price = 10000 - 20% of 10000 = 8000.

Note : You can solve it by taking lebeled price as X as well.

OK I hope I help you
