1.	Karun bought a pair of shoes at a sale of 25%. If the amount he paid was Rs 1000, then find the marked price.
Answer» Let the marked price of the raincoat be Rs P Amount he paid at a discount of 25% = Rs 1000 (Marked Price) – (25% of P) = 1000 P – (\(\frac{25}{100}\) x P) = 1000 P – \(\frac{1}{4}\) x P = 1000 P (1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)) = 1000 \(\frac{3}{4}\)P = 1000 P = 1000 x \(\frac{4}{3}\) = \(\frac{4000}{3}\) P = 1333.33 ∴ Marked price of the shoes = Rs 1333

Karun bought a pair of shoes at a sale of 25%. If the amount he paid was Rs 1000, then find the marked price.

Answer»

Let the marked price of the raincoat be Rs P

Amount he paid at a discount of 25% = Rs 1000

(Marked Price) – (25% of P) = 1000

P – (\(\frac{25}{100}\) x P) = 1000

P – \(\frac{1}{4}\) x P = 1000

P (1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\)) = 1000

\(\frac{3}{4}\)P = 1000

P = 1000 x \(\frac{4}{3}\)

= \(\frac{4000}{3}\)

P = 1333.33

∴ Marked price of the shoes = Rs 1333
