Question

A shop announced a festival discount of $30\%$ for all items in his shop. Jagdish bought a mobile phone for himself. He got a discount of $Rs.960$. What was the list price for the phone?

Answer 1

Let the list price of mobile phone $=Rsx$.

Then, Jagdish got a discount of $30\%$ on $x$ which is $Rs960$.

So,

$\frac{30}{100}\times x=960$

$x=960\times \frac{100}{30}$

$x=Rs3,200$.

The list price of the mobile phone is $Rs3,200$.
