Selling price of an article is Rs. 5175 and discount of 25 percent is offered. What is the marked price of the article?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 6900.

Given that

Selling price = Rs. 5175

Discount offered on marked price = 25%

Let the marked price be 'y'

According to the question, 

75100\frac{75}{100} × y = 5175

⇒ y = 5175×10075\frac{5175 × 100}{75} = 6900

Hence, the marked price of the article is 6900.
