Question

A shirt costs Rs. 2000 after giving a discount of 20%. The list price of the shirt is Rs ___ .

Answer 1

Let us assume the list price of the shirt to be x.

Discount= 20% of list price = $20x\frac{x}{100}=\frac{x}{5}$

Selling Price = Rs 2000

Selling Price = List Price - discount

2000= x- $\frac{x}{5}$

2000= $\frac{4x}{5}$

x= 2500
