Open in App
Solution

Marked price:

Let,the marked price of the almirah =x

Assume, x as a variable to do the further mathematical calculations.

Given discount is 5%

So, the discount amount=x×5100=x20

The selling price=x-x20=19x20

Now,if we compare the value of selling price that is given in the question and the value of the selling price that we have calculated,then we will get the following mathematical equation,

19x20=5225

So,

19x20=522519x=5225×2019x=104500x=10450019=5500

Thus, x=5500

Hence, the marked price of almirah is 5500
