Q. A shopkeeper sells a shirt for $30 after giving a discount of 20%. What was the original price of the shirt?
A.
$36
B.
$40
C.
$42
D.
$45
Show solution
Solution
Let the original price be x. After a 20% discount, the selling price is 80% of x. Thus, 0.8x = 30. Solving for x gives x = 30/0.8 = 37.5. Therefore, the original price is $36.
Correct Answer:
B
— $40

Q. A shopkeeper sells a shirt for $30 after giving a discount of 25%. What was the original price of the shirt?
A.
$40
B.
$35
C.
$45
D.
$50
Show solution
Solution
Let the original price be x. After a 25% discount, the selling price is x - 0.25x = 0.75x. Setting this equal to $30 gives 0.75x = 30, so x = 30/0.75 = $40.

Q. A shopkeeper sells a shirt for $30, making a profit of 20%. What was the cost price of the shirt?
A.
$25
B.
$20
C.
$24
D.
$22
Show solution
Solution
Let the cost price be x. The selling price is given by x + 0.2x = 1.2x. Setting this equal to $30 gives us 1.2x = 30, so x = 30/1.2 = 25. Thus, the cost price of the shirt is $25.
