Halloween 20% discount on the Marked price of was value of row was will be reduced 2376 ​

Answer 1

To find the marked price of the watch, apply the discount and sales tax. The marked price of the watch is Rs 2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the marked price of the watch, we need to consider the discount applied and the sales tax added. Let's solve it step by step:

1. Let's assume the marked price of the watch is 'x'.
2. 20% discount on the marked price means the discounted amount will be 20% of 'x', which is 0.2x.
3. So, the selling price of the watch after the discount will be 'x - 0.2x = 0.8x'.
4. Now, we need to add a 10% sales tax to the selling price of the watch, which is 0.1(0.8x) = 0.08x.
5. The final selling price of the watch, after adding the sales tax, is '0.8x + 0.08x = 0.88x'.
6. Given that the value of the watch (selling price) is Rs 2376, we can set up the equation 0.88x = 2376.
7. Now, solve for 'x' by dividing both sides by 0.88: x = 2700.

The marked price of the watch is Rs 2700. So, the answer to the given question is Rs 2700.
