Question

A dress is sold at $Rs.550$ after allowing a discount of $12\%.$ Find its marked price.

Answer 1

S.P. $=Rs.550$

Discount $\%=12\%$

Let the marked price be $Rs.x.$

S.P $=$ Marked price $-$ Discount

$x-\frac{12}{100}x=550$

$\Rightarrow \frac{88x}{100}=550$

$\Rightarrow x=550\times \frac{100}{88}$

$\Rightarrow x=50\times \frac{100}{8}$

$\therefore x=Rs.625$

hence, the marked price is $Rs.625.$
