Question

After allowing a discount of $8\%$ on a toy, it is sold for $Rs.\mathrm{216.20.}$ Find the marked price of the toy.

Answer 1

S.P. of toy $=Rs.216.20$ [$\because$ S.P = Selling Price, M.P = Marked Price]

Discount $=Rs.8\%$

$\therefore$ M.P $=\frac{S.P\times 100}{100-\text{discount}\%}$

$=Rs.\frac{216.20\times 100}{100-8}$

$=Rs.\frac{21620\times 100}{100\times 92}$

$=Rs.235$

Hence, the marked price of the toy is $Rs.235$
