Question

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

Answer 1

Find the marked price of the article:

Given that, the selling price of the article is $\mathrm{Rs}.880$ and discount is $12\%$.

Let the marked price of an article be $x$.

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore x-(12\%\mathrm{of}x)=880 \\ \Rightarrow x-\frac{12}{100}x=880 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{88}{100}x=880 \\ \Rightarrow x=880\times \frac{100}{88} \\ \Rightarrow x=\mathrm{Rs}.1000 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the marked price of the article is $\mathrm{Rs}.1000$.
