Question

A person got an article at 22% discount, if he got no discount, then he had to pay ₹1,760 more. How much did he pay (in ₹) for the article?

• A. 5120
• B. 6380
• C. 5640
• D. 6240

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 6240

Let the marked price be (M).

Discount = 22% ⇒ Paid amount = 78% of (M)

Extra amount if no discount = 22% of (M)
Given:
$22\% \text{ of } M = 1760$

$\frac{22}{100} \times M = 1760$

$M = \frac{1760 \times 100}{22} = 8000$

Amount paid = 78% of 8000

$= \frac{78}{100} \times 8000 = 6240$
