Question 14

A jacket was sold for Rs 1120 after allowing a discount of 20%. The marked price of the jacket is
(a) Rs 1440
(b) Rs 1400
(c) Rs 960
(d) Rs 866.66

Answer 1

Let the marked price of the jacket be Rs x
Discount % on marked price = 20%
Selling price of jacket = Rs 1120
Then, $1120=x-x\times \frac{20}{100}$
$\Rightarrow 1120=x-\frac{x}{5}\Rightarrow 1120=\frac{4x}{5}\Rightarrow x=\frac{1120\times 5}{4}=280\times 5=Rs1400$
So, marked price of the jacket is Rs 1400.
