Question

Rahul bought a sweater and saved $₹20$ when a discount of $25\%$ was given. What was the price of the sweater before the discount?

Answer 1

Let the price of the sweater before the discount be $x$

Here the value of saving is equal to the given discount

$\Rightarrow$Discount $=25\%$of $x$ $=₹20$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{25x}{100}=20 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{20\times 100}{25}=₹80 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the price of the sweater before the discount was $₹80$
