An item with a marked price of ₹x was sold for ₹4,400 after a discount of 12%. Find the value of x.

  1. ₹7000

  2. ₹6500

  3. ₹5000

  4. ₹5600

Answer: C

Solution

Solution: After a 12% discount, the selling price is 88% of the marked price. Hence, \(0.88x=4400\Rightarrow x=\frac{4400\times100}{88}\) = ₹5000. Trick: Divide the selling price by 0.88 to recover the marked price.
