Question

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

Answer 1

The amount he paid $=Rs.1600$

Discount $=20\%$

Let the $MP$ be $Rs.x$.

According to the question,

$x-\frac{20x}{100}=1600$

$80x=160000$

$x=2000$

$MP=Rs.2000$

Hence, this is the answer
