Question

Amit bought a bat at 9% discount. The price reduction was ₹ 360. Then, the regular price of bat is

• A. ₹ 360
• B. ₹ 4200
• C. ₹ 4000

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹ 4000

Given,
Discount is 9% of regular price. So,

$\text{regular price}\times \frac{9}{100}=₹360$

From this, the regular price can be calculated as
$360\times \frac{100}{9}=₹4000$

[Alternate way]

Given,
Discount percent = 9%
Discount given = ₹ 360

Now, we know that
Discount % $=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}}\times 100$

From this, the marked price or regular price can be calculated as
Marked price $=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Discount \%}}\times 100$
Marked price $=360\times \frac{100}{9}=₹4000$
