Question

For what priced item does 40% off equal a Rs 4.00 discount?

Answer 1

Let the price of the item be x.
Now, according to the given question, 40% off on x will be equal to Rs 4. So,
$$\begin{gathered} 40\%ofx=4 \\ \frac{40}{100}\left(x\right)=4 \\ x=\frac{\left(4\right)\left(100\right)}{40} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the price of the item was Rs 10
