Question

Find the marked price when the selling price is $Rs7200$ and discount $10\%$.

Answer 1

Let marked price is $Rsx$

Discount $=10\%$

Selling Price $=Rs.7200$

Discount $=10\%$ of Marked price $=10\%\times x=\frac{10}{100}\times x=\frac{x}{10}$

Selling price = Marked price - Discount

$7200=x-\frac{x}{10}$

$\Rightarrow 7200=\frac{10x-x}{10}$

$\Rightarrow 7200\times 10=9x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{72000}{9}=8000$

Hence, the marked price is $Rs.8000.$
