While selling a watch, a shopkeeper gives a
discount of 15%. If be gives a discount of
20%, he earns Rs. 51 less as profit. What is
the original price of the watch ?

• let price of watch=x
  give discount 15%=(give discount 20% - less of profit)
  x*15/100=x*20/100-51
  15x/100=20x/100-51
  (20-15)x =51*100
  5x=51*100
  x=51*20
  x=1020 Ans

• let x be the original price then a/c to que we can write
  (x-x*15%)-(x-x*20%)=51
  => (17x-16x)/20=51
  => x=1020

• Let take the oeiginal price of watch =x
  Now 15%dicount price will be =85x/100
  Now if he /she give 20% dicount then the price will be =80x/100 but it will be equal to =-51 as a profit so the actual price will be 80x/100-x=51
  AFTER SOLVING THE ACTUAL PRICE OF WATCH WILL BE 255 ans.
