Arun bought a pair of skates at a sale where the discount given was 20%. If the amount he pays is ₹1,600, find the marked price.

S.P. = ₹1,600 and Rate of discount = 20%
Let M.P. be ₹ 100, then S.P. for customer = 100 – 20 = ₹ 80
∵ When S.P. is ₹ 80, then M.P. = ₹ 100
∴ When S.P. is ₹1, then M.P. = 100/80
∴ When S.P. is ₹1600, then M.P. = 100/80 x 1600 = ₹ 2,000
