A dealer gave a 9% discount on an electric fan and charges ₹ 728 from the customer. Find the marked
price of the fan.
Consider ₹ x as the M.P. of the fan
Discount = 9%
We know that
Amount of discount = 9% of ₹ x
It can be written as
= 9/100 × x
= ₹ 9x/100
Here
Charges for customer = ₹ x - ₹9x/100
Substituting the values
728 = (100x – 9x)/ 100
By further calculation
728 = 91x/100
So we get
x = (728 × 100)/ 91
x = 8 × 100
x = 800
Therefore, the marked price of the fan is ₹ 800.
