      Determine the original price of an item purchased by A

      from a shopkeeper. A received a discount of 20%, while B bought the same item with a 37.5% discount and paid Rs. 1500 for it.

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the original price of the item be Rs. X. B got a 37.5% discount, so he paid 62.5% of the original price. This means:

      Multiply both sides by 8/5 to find X:

      Hence, the original price of the item is Rs.2400
