Question
Karun bought a pair of shoes at a sale of 25%. If the amount he paid was ₹ 1000, then find the marked price
Solution
Let the marked price of the shoes be ₹ P
Amount he paid at a discount of 25% = ₹ 1000
Marked Price – 25% of P = 1000
`"P" - (25/100 xx "P")` = 1000
`"P" - 1/4 xx "P"` = 1000
`"P"(1 - 1/4)` = 1000
`3/4"P"` = 1000
P = `1000 xx 4/3`
= `4000/3`
P = 1333.33
∴ Marked price of the shoes = ₹ 1333
