Question 83

If the selling price is Rs 855 after getting a discount of 5%, what was the marked price?

Solution

Let Marked Price = Rs. $$x$$

Selling price = Rs. 855

Discount % = $$\frac{(x - 855)}{x} \times 100 = 5$$

=> $$\frac{x-855}{x} = \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20}$$

=> $$20x - 17100 = x$$

=> $$20x - x = 19x = 17100$$

=> $$x = \frac{17100}{19} = Rs$$ $$900$$

=> Ans - (D)
