Question

A jacket was sold for Rs 1,120 after allowing a discount of 20%. The marked price of the jacket is:

(a) Rs 1440 (b) Rs 1400 (c) Rs 960 (d) Rs 866.66

Answer 1

(b) Rs. 1400

Explanation: 

Let marked price = x

Discount = 20%

Selling price = 1120

Hence,

1120 = x – x × 20/100

1120 = x – x/5

1120 = 4x/5

x = (1120×5)/4 = 1400
