Question
A pair of articles was bought for Rs.100 at a discount of 20%.What must be the marked price of each of the articles?Rs.200Rs.250Rs.300Rs.350
Solution
The pair of articles was bought for Rs.100 after a discount of 20% was applied. This means that Rs.100 is 80% of the original price (100% - 20% = 80%).
Step 1: To find the original price (marked price), we need to calculate 100% of the price.
Step 2: If 80% is Rs.100, then 1% would be Rs.100/80 = Rs.1.25
Step 3: Therefore, 100% (the original price) would be Rs.1.25 * 100 = Rs.125
Step 4: Since this is the price for a pair of articles, the marked price for each article would be Rs.125/2 = Rs.62.5
So, none of the options given (Rs.200, Rs.250, Rs.300, Rs.350) are correct. The marked price of each article should be Rs.62.5.
