Solution
The marked price of an article when it is sold for Rs 880 after a discount of 12% is ₹ 1000.
Explanation:
Selling price of an article = Rs. 880
Discount% = 12%
We know that,
Discount is calculated on marked price.
Let the marked price be Rs. x.
So, `x - x xx 12/100 = 880`
⇒ `(100x - 12x)/100 = 880`
⇒ `(88x)/100 = 880`
⇒ 88x = 880 × 100
⇒ `x = 88000/88`
⇒ x = 1000
So, marked price = Rs 1000
