Question

The marked price of an article when it is sold for $Rs.880$ after a discount of $12\%$ is _____ .

Answer 1

Given that,

The selling price of an article is $Rs.880$.

The price is after a discount of $12\%$.

To find out,

The marked price of the article.

We know that, $\text{M.P.}=\frac{100\times \text{S.P.}}{100-\text{discount}\%}$

Hence, $\text{M.P.}=\frac{100\times 880}{100-12}$

$=\frac{88000}{88}$

$=Rs.1000$

Hence, the marked price of the article is $Rs.1000$.
