Question

what is the marked price?
a)when selling price = $442 and discount = 15%

b)when selling price = $1200 and discount =12%

Answer 1

15% of 442 is (15/100)*442 = 66.3
marked price is selling price + discount which is 442+66.3 = $508.3

12% of 1200 is (12/100)*1200 = 144
marked price is selling price + discount = 1200+144=$1344

Answer 2

a) S.P. = $442 , Discount% = 15%
Discount amount = ($\frac{15}{100}$ × 442 = $66.3
Marked Price = (S.P. + Discount Amount) = $(442+66.3) = $508.3

b) S.P. = $1200, Discount% = 12%
Discount amount = $\frac{12}{100}$ × 1200 = $144
Marked Price = (S.P. + Discount Amount) = $(144+1200) = $1344
