Question 47

The marked price of a table is Rs. 625 and its sale price is Rs. 500. What is the ratio of the sale price to the marked price?

Answer 1

Given, marked price of a table = Rs. 625
Sale price of a table = Rs. 500
Ratio of sale price to marked price = $\frac{Rs.500}{Rs.625}=\frac{500}{625}$
$=\frac{20}{25}$ [On dividing numerator and denominator by 25]
$=\frac{4}{5}$ [On dividing numerator and denominator by 5]
$\therefore$ Required ratio = 4 : 5

Hence, the ratio of the sale price to the marked price is 4 : 5.
