What was the original price of an item if a discount of 20 percent
reduced the price to Rs.100?
Answers
If a discount of 20 percent reduces the price of the item to Rs.100 then the original price of an item was Rs. 125.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of the item be Rs. “x”.
Rate of discount = 20%
It is given that the cost of the item reduces to Rs. 100 after the discount on the item, i.e., we can write the equation as,
x – (20% of x) = 100
⇒ x – 0.2x = 100
⇒ 0.8x = 100
⇒ x = 100/0.8
⇒ x = Rs. 125
Thus, the original price of an item was Rs. 125.
