A shopkeeper charges his customer 23% more than the cost price. If a customer paid ₹30,135 for a dining table, then find its original price (in ₹).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 24,500.
Let the original price (cost price) be ₹x
SP = x + 23% of x = 123x/100
⇒ 123x/100 = 30135
⇒ x = 24500
