Question

A shopkeeper sells an article for Rs. $192$ after allowing a discount of $20$%. Find the price at which the article is marked.

• A. Rs$220$
• B. Rs$240$
• C. Rs$260$
• D. Rs$280$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Rs$240$

$\Rightarrow$ Let marked price be Rs.$x$.

$\Rightarrow$ Discount = 20% of marked price.

$\Rightarrow$ $Discount=\frac{20}{100}\times x=\frac{20x}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = Marked price - Discount.

$\Rightarrow$ $192=x-\frac{20x}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ $192=\frac{80x}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{19200}{80}=$Rs.$240$
