Question

A jacket was sold for Rs 1,120 after allowing a discount of 20%. The marked price of the jacket is:

• A. $Rs1440$
• B. $Rs1400$
• C. $Rs960$
• D. $Rs866.66$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$Rs1400$

To find marked price of jacket,

Let marked price $=x$

Discount $=20\%$

Selling price $=1120$

According to the question,

$x-20\%ofx=1120$

$x-\frac{20}{100}\times x=1120$

$x-0.2x=1120$

$0.8x=1120$

$x=\frac{1120}{0.8}$

$x=1400$

Hence, the marked price is $Rs1400$
