Question

An almirah is sold at $Rs.5225$ after allowing a discount of $5\%.$ Find its marked price.

Answer 1

Given :

Sale price, S.P $=Rs.5225$

Discount $\%=5\%$

Let the Marked Price, M.P be $x$

Therefore,

$M.P=\frac{100}{100-\text{Discount}\%}\times S.P$

$=\frac{100}{100-5}\times Rs.5225$

$=\frac{100}{95}\times Rs.5225$

$=100\times Rs.55$

$\therefore$ M.P $=Rs.5500$

Therefore, the marked price of the almirah is $Rs.5500$.
