Question

The cost of a shirt after $15\%$ discount is Rs. $102$. What is the cost of the shirt before discount?

• A. Rs. $115$
• B. Rs. $117$
• C. Rs. $120$
• D. Rs. $125$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. $120$

Let CP of the shirt be Rs. $x$

Then after discount the price will be Rs. $0.85x$

Equating $0.85x=102$, we get

$x=$ $\frac{102}{0.85}$= Rs. $120$

Hence, the cost of the shirt before discount is Rs. $120$.
