Question

A shopkeeper sells an article for Rs. $243$ after allowing a discount of $10$%. Find the price at which the article is marked.

• A. Rs. $260$
• B. Rs. $250$
• C. Rs. $280$
• D. Rs. $270$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Rs. $270$

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

$\Rightarrow$ Discount = $10\%$ of $x$

$\Rightarrow$ Discount = $\frac{x}{10}$

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = Marked price - Discount

$\Rightarrow$ $243=x-\frac{x}{10}$

$\Rightarrow$ $243=\frac{9x}{10}$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{2430}{9}=$Rs. $270$

$\therefore$ Marked price of article is Rs. $270$
