Question 79

If the selling price is Rs 1680 after getting a discount of 16%, what was the marked price?

Solution

Let Marked Price = Rs. $$x$$

Selling price = Rs. 1680

Discount % = $$\frac{(x - 1680)}{x} \times 100 = 16$$

=> $$\frac{x-1680}{x} = \frac{16}{100} = \frac{4}{25}$$

=> $$25x - 42000 = 4x$$

=> $$25x - 4x = 21x = 42000$$

=> $$x = \frac{42000}{21} = Rs$$ $$2000$$

=> Ans - (A)
