1. Before, finding the answer. Let’s find out how we can find the answer.

   • In this question, we are asked to find the Marked price of the pair of skates.
   • So, to find that, we have to use the formula of :

   [tex]\boxed{ \sf Marked \: Price = \dfrac{Price \: paid }{100 -discount} \times 100}[/tex]

   _______________________

   Given :

   • Price Paid = Rs. 1600
   • Discount = 20%

   To find :

   • marked price​

   Solution :

   Let’s find the Marked Price,

   [tex]{ \sf Marked \: Price = \dfrac{Price \: paid }{100 -discount} \times 100}[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = \dfrac{1600 }{100 – 20} \times 100}[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = \dfrac{1600 }{80} \times 100}[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = \dfrac{1600 }{8 \not 0} \times 10 \not 0}[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = \dfrac{1600 }{8} \times 10 }[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = \dfrac{16000}{8}}[/tex]

   [tex]\sf = 2000[/tex]

   Therefore, the Marked Price of the pair of skates is Rs.2000.
