Question:

By paying ₹20 less of the marked price of an article, a man gets 25% discount. The total amount that he has paid (in ₹) is:

Options:

20

80

50

60

Correct Answer:

60

Explanation:

Discount = 25%

Let MP of the article be Rs. x

According to the question

x  × \(\frac{25}{100}\) = 20

 x = 20 × 4

x = 80

Marked price of the article is Rs. 80

 Amount paid by him after getting discount = 80 – 20 = 60.
