A shop sells a pair of shoes for Rs. 800 after a 20% discount. What was the original price of the shoes?
Answer: Rs. 1000
Explanation
Since the shop sells the pair of shoes for Rs. 800 after a 20% discount, that means the discount amount is 20% of the original price.
Discount amount = 20% of x = 0.20x
The selling price (Rs. 800) is the original price minus the discount amount:
800 = x - 0.20x
Simplify the equation:
800 = 0.80x
Divide both sides by 0.80:
x = 800 / 0.80
x = 1000
So, the original price for the pair of shoes was:
Rs. 1000
The correct answer is: Rs. 1000
