Question

The Marked price of an article was fixed to Rs 1380 by increasing 15% on its actual price. Find the actual price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual price of the article was Rs. 1200.

Step-by-step explanation:

mp (marked price)

ap (actual price)

$mp = 1380$

$mp = ap + 15\%(ap)$

$1 380 = ap + \frac{15}{100} ap$

$1380 = \frac{100}{100} ap + \frac{15}{100} ap$

$1380 = \frac{115}{100} ap$

$1380 \div \frac{115}{100} = ap$

$1380 \times \frac{100}{115} = ap$

$\frac{138000}{115} = ap$

$1200 = ap$
