Question

After allowing a discount of $25\%$ on the marked price of a shirt, it is sold for Rs. $240$. Find the marked price of the shirt.

• A. Rs. $115$
• B. Rs. $320$
• C. Rs. $240$
• D. Rs. $50$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $320$

Let marked price be $x$

Selling price $=$ Rs $240$

Discount allowed on the shirt $=25\%$

$\Rightarrow x-\frac{25x}{100}=240$

$\Rightarrow \frac{75x}{100}=240$

$\Rightarrow x=$ Rs. $320$
