The selling price of an article is Rs. 1690. If discount of 35 percent is given, then what will be the marked price of the article?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 2600.
Let, the marked price be x
Discount = M.P. × 35%
⇒ Discount = 0.35 M.P.
We know that,
⇒ S.P. = M.P. - Discount
⇒ 1690 = M.P. - 0.35 × M.P.
⇒ 1690 = M.P.(1 - 0.35)
⇒ 1690 = M.P. × 0.65
⇒ M.P. = 1690/0.65
⇒ M.P. = Rs.2600
