Question

Ankit bought a pair of shoes at a discount of $30\%$. If he paid Rs. $1,250$, find the marked price.

Answer 1

Let the marked price be $x$

Now,$SP=(100-discount)\%\times MP$

$\Rightarrow SP=(100-30)\%\times MP$

$\Rightarrow 1250=70\%\times MP$

$\Rightarrow MP=1250\times \frac{100}{70}=1785.71$rupees
