Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is Rs 1,600, find the marked price. |

Answer» Let the marked price be x. Discount percent = Discount / Marked price x 100 20 = Discount/x x100 Discount = 20/100 x x = 1/5x Also, Discount = Marked price − Sale price 1/5x = x - Rs 1600 x - (1/5)x = Rs 1600 (4/5)x = Rs 1600 x = Rs ( 1600 x 5/4 ) = Rs 2000 Thus, the marked price was Rs 2000. |
