Question 48
A shop, which sold same marked price shirts, announced an offer - if one buys three shirts then the fourth shirt is sold at a discounted price of ₹ 100 only. Patel took the offer. He left the shop with 20 shirts after paying ₹ 20,000. What is the marked price of a shirt?
Solution
Patel bought 20 shirts. He would have gotten every fourth shirt at Rs. 100. He would have paid the marked price for 15 shirts and would have gotten 5 shirts at Rs. 100 each.
Let the marked price of one shirt be 'x'.
15x + 5*100 = 20000
15x = 19500
x = 19500/15 = Rs. 1300.
The marked price of a shirt is Rs. 1300. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
