Question

On the eve of Gandhi Jayanti, a saree is sold for ₹900 after allowing a 20% discount. The marked price of saree is .

• A. ₹1150
• B. ₹1250
• C. ₹1330
• D. ₹1125

Answer 1

The correct option is D ₹1125

Given that,
Selling price of the saree = ₹900
Discount on the saree = 20%

Let the marked price of the saree be $₹x.$
$\therefore \%Discount=\frac{Discount}{M.P.}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow 20=\frac{Discount}{x}\times 100$

$Discount=₹\frac{x}{5}$
As,
Selling price = Marked price - Discount
$900=x-\frac{x}{5}$
$x=₹1125$
Hence, the marked price of the saree is ₹1125.
