Question:
The marked price of an article when it is sold for Rs. 880 after a discount of 12% is ______
Solution:
Rs.1000
Explanation: selling price = Rs.880
Discount percentage = 12%
Let x be the marked price.
Since, discount is calculated on marked price, thus;
x – x × (12/100) = 880
88x /100 = 880
x = 10 × 100 = 1000
