Question

After 12%discount, the price of an article is Rs.1320.Find its mp.​

Answer 1

MP is Rs. 1500

Explanation:

Discount = 12 %

Price of article after discount (Sale Price) = Rs. 1320

Find its MP.

We know that Sale Price = MP - D

We need to find MP

Let MP = x

We will have equation:
`x-12\%\:of\:x=1320`

Solving and finding value of x

`x-12\% of x =1320\\x-(12)/(100)x=1320\\(100x-12x)/(100)=1320\\(88x)/(100)=1320\\88x=1320*100\\x=(132000)/(88)\\x=1500`

So, MP is Rs. 1500
