Question 141

A man saves 25 on the purchase of an article on which a discount of 20% is allowed. How much did the man pay ?

Solution

Let marked price = $$100x$$

Discount % = 20%

=> DIscounted amount = $$\frac{20}{100} * 100x = 20x$$

Amount saved by man = $$20x$$ = 25

=> $$x$$ = $$\frac{25}{20}$$ = 1.25

Amount paid by man = $$100x - 20x = 80x$$

=> 80 * 1.25 = 100
