After giving a discount of 20%, a saree is sold for Rs. 1120. Find the marked price of the saree.

Answer»

Let the Marked Price = Rs. X


Discount = 20%


Selling Price = Rs 1120


So 20 % of Marked price subtracted from Marked price = Selling Price


=> X - 20% of X = 1120


=> X - 20 / 100 * X = 1120


=> X - X / 5 = 1120


Taking LCM on the Left SIDE we get,


=> 5X - X / 5 = 1120


=> 4X / 5 = 1120


=> 4X = 1120 * 5


=> 4X = 5600


=> X = 5600 / 4 = 1400


Hence the marked or the ORIGINAL cost price of the OBJECT is Rs. 1400.
