Question

The original price p of an item less a discount of 20%

Answer 1

Like 10% maybe your subtracting ight? message back so i can help

Answer 2

⇒First Approach

Let $x be the Marked price of an Item.

Discount =20%

Original Price after Discount = $p

`\rightarrow x-(20x)/(100)=p\\\\\rightarrow (80x)/(100)=p\\\\ \rightarrow (4x)/(5)=p\\\\ \rightarrow x=(5p)/(4)`

⇒Marked price of the Item
`=(5p)/(4)`

⇒Second Approach

If, p=Original Price of the Commodity

Discount =20%

Price after Discount

`=p-(20p)/(100)\\\\=(80p)/(100)\\\\=(4p)/(5)`
