Question

Arum bough a pair of skates at a scale where the distance given was 20% . If the amount he pays is Rs 1,600, find the marked price.

Answer 1

Let the marked price be $M.$

discount $=20\%$

price$=1600$

$M=\frac{price}{100-discount}\times 100$

$=\frac{1600}{100-20}\times 100=\frac{1600}{80}\times 100=2000$

Hence, Market price is $Rs.2000$
