Question

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

Answer 1

Given, Rate of discount $=12$%

Let the marked price be $Rs.x$.

Then,

$S.P.=x-12\%ofx=x-\frac{12}{100}x=x-0.12x=0.88x$

Given, $S.P.=Rs.550$

$0.88x=550$

$x=\frac{100\times 550}{88}=\frac{55000}{88}=625$

Marked price $=Rs.625$.
