Question

After allowing $15$% discount, the selling price of a radio becomes $Rs.255$. The marked price is

• A. $Rs.500$
• B. $Rs.600$
• C. $Rs.400$
• D. $Rs.300$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$Rs.300$

Let the marked price of Radio be $Rs.x$.

After giving $15\%$ discount, the selling price will be $0.85x$
According to the question, $0.85x=255$

$x=\frac{255}{0.85}$
$x=Rs.300$
Hence, the marked price of Radio is $Rs.300$.
