Question

Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is ₹1,600, find the marked price.

Answer 1

S.P = ₹1,600 and Rate of discount = 20%
Let M.P be ₹100 then S.P for customer = ₹100 - ₹20 = ₹80
$\therefore$ When S.P is ₹80, then M.P = ₹100
$\therefore$ When S.P is ₹1, then M.P = $\frac{100}{80}$
$\therefore$ When S.P is ₹1,600, then M.P = $\frac{100}{80}\times 1,600=₹2,000$
