To find discount when Marked price and Sale price are known (Problem-9: Discount)

Q. A toy car is sold for Rs. 4600 at the discount of 8%. What is marked price of toy car?


Given:


S.P = Rs. 4600
Discount = 8 %
 

To Find:


M.P = ?

Solution:

Since 

S.P = M.P - Discount

Where discount is determined on M.P, therefore

Discount = 8 % of M.P

thus

S.P = M.P - 8 % of M.P

S.P = M.P - `frac {8}{100}` M.P

S.P = (1- `frac {8}{100}`) M.P


S.P = (`frac {100 - 8}{100}`) M.P

S.P = (`frac {92}{100}`) M.P

or

M.P = (`frac {100}{92}`) S.P

M.P = (`frac {100}{92}`) Rs.4600

M.P = Rs.5000 ----------------Ans.
