Mohan purchased trousers for ₹ 765, after a discount of 15% was offered on its marked price. What is the marked price (in ₹) of the trousers?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 900.

Given that

The cost of a trouser =  ₹ 765

A discount of 15% on marked price

M.P. = S.P. × 100/(100 - Discount%)

According to the question

M.P. = 765 × 100/(100 - 15) = 765 × 100/85 = ₹ 900
