Question

Rehana got 24% discount on her frock. If she paid ₹ 532 after discount, what is the marked price of the frock?

• A. ₹ 620
• B. ₹ 850
• C. ₹ 700
• D. ₹ 720

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹ 700

Let the marked price be ₹ $x$.

After discount, the price of the frock is ₹ $(x-\frac{24x}{100})$ which is equal to ₹ 532.
$\Rightarrow x-\frac{24x}{100}=532\Rightarrow x-\frac{6x}{25}=532\Rightarrow \frac{25x-6x}{25}=532\Rightarrow 19x=532\times 25\Rightarrow x=\frac{532\times 25}{19}\Rightarrow x=28\times 25\Rightarrow x=700$

Hence, the marked price of the frock is ₹ 700.
