Let the marked price be x .if you buy a radio for rs 1350 at 25% discount,find marked price.​
Stella [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price (MP) = x

Selling Price after discount (SP after discount)

= Rs. 1350

Discount rate = 25%

Now

SP after discount = MP - discount % of MP

1350 = x - 25 % of x

1350 = x - x / 4

1350 = 3x / 4

1350 * 4 =3x

5400 / 3 = x

Therefore x = Rs. 1800

The marked price is Rs. 1800

Simplify -2(4f+6)+3(4f-6)
hoa [83]
It will be 4f-30. Using substitution, you get (-8f-12) + (12f-18). Adding this together you get -8f-12+12f-18. Then you add -8f and 12f to get 4f, and add -12 and -18 to get -30.
