  1. Rita bought a television set with 20% discount on the labelled price. She made a profit of $ 800 by selling it for $ 16,800. The labelled price of the set was
    1. $ 18,000
    2. $ 20,000
    3. $ 20,800
    4. $ 24,000
Correct Option: B

Let the marked price of the television be $ y.
CP for Rita = $ (16800 – 800) = $ 16000
∴ ( 100 - 20 )% of y = 16000
⇒ 80% of y = 16000

⇒ y =
16000 × 100
= $ 20000
80
