Original Price | MCQs

Explanation

Since a 20% discount reduced the price to Rs. 100:

x - (20% of x) = 100

To find 20% of x, multiply x by 0.20:

x - 0.20x = 100

Combine like terms:

0.80x = 100

Divide by 0.80:

x = 125

Explanation

Discount percentage = (Discount / Original Price) * 100

Discount = Rs. 2.50

Original Price = Rs. 50

Discount percentage = (2.50 / 50) * 100

= 5%

Explanation

When two successive discounts are given, use the formula:

Overall Discount (%) = A + B - (A × B) / 100

Where:

A = first discount = 10%

B = second discount = 14%

So:

= 10 + 14 - (10 × 14) / 100

= 24 - 1.4

= 22.6%

Explanation

To find the percentage discount:

Marked price = Rs. 80

Sale price = Rs. 72

Discount = Marked price - Sale price

Discount = 80 - 72

Discount = 8

Percentage discount = (Discount / Marked price) × 100

Percentage discount = (8 / 80) × 100

Percentage discount = 10%

Explanation

To find the original price, we need to remove the GST amount from the inclusive price.

Price including GST = Rs. 945

GST percentage = 5%

First, convert the GST percentage to a decimal: 5% = 0.05

Then, divide the price including GST by (1 + GST decimal):

Rs. 945 ÷ (1 + 0.05) = Rs. 945 ÷ 1.05 = Rs. 900

Explanation

 Calculate the discount amount:

Original Price - Selling Price = Discount

$1500 - $1200 = $300

Calculate the discount percentage:

(Discount / Original Price) * 100%

($300 / $1500) * 100%

0.20 * 100% = 20%

Explanation

Discount = 15% of 80

= 0.15 * 80

= 12

Sale price = Original price - Discount

= 80 - 12

= 68

Explanation

Increase = 710 - 600 = 110

Percentage increase = (Increase / Original price) * 100

= (110 / 600) * 100

= 0.1833 * 100

= 18.33%

Explanation

Market price–Market price*20%=480.

Market price=480/(1–20%)

= 480/4/5 =480*5/4 =Rs 600.

Explanation

Let us consider that the actual cost of the article is "x".

Since the decrease in price = 24 %= 0.24

x - 0.24 x = 912

0.76 x = 912

x = 912 / 0.76

x = 1200
