Question

Calculate the marked price of a sweater purchased at Rs. 1075 allowing 14% discount. ( please do proper answer )​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

The sweater is purchased at Rs. 1075

The discount is 14%

Let y represent the marked price of the sweater

y × 14% = 1075

y × (100-14)/100= 1075

y × 86/100= 1075

y ×0.86= 1075

0.86y= 1075

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 0.86

0.86y/0.86 = 1075/0.86

y = 1250

Hence the marked price is Rs. 1250
