Question -

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



Answer -

Let the MP of the skates be ₹ 100
Discount = ₹ 20% of 100 = ₹ 20
Sale price = ₹ 100 – ₹ 20 = ₹ 80
If SP is ₹ 80 then MP = ₹ 100
If SP is ₹ 1 then MP = ₹ 100/80
If SP is ₹ 1,600 then MP = ₹ 100/80 × 1600 = ₹ 2,000
Thus the MP = ₹ 2000.
