Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was $20\%$. If the amount he pays is $Rs1,600$, find the marked price in Rs

Answer 1

Let the marked price be M

discount$=20\%$

Price$=1600Rs$

M$=\frac{price}{100-discount}\times 100=\frac{1600}{100-20}\times 100=\frac{1600}{80}\times 100=2000Rs$
