Question

Calculate the marked price (original price) if

a. After 25% discount, the price of an article is Rs 7500,


please with explanation and calculation the answer should be Rs 10 000

Answer 1

To get the original price we are going to;

1) Subtract the discount percentage from 100 to get the original price percentage.

100 - 25 = 75 %

2) Now we are going to multiply the discounted price by 100.

7500 x 100 = 750,000

3) Now we are going to divide the discounted price by the original price percentage.

750,000 / 75 = 10,000

Therefore the original price is Rs 10,000
