Question

What price should Suneeta mark on a saree which costs Rs.$2200$ so as to gain $26\%$ after allowing a discount of $12\%$?

Answer 1

C.P of a saree $=Rs.2200$
Gain $=26\%$ of $Rs.2200=\frac{26}{100}\times 2200=Rs.572$
$\therefore$ S.P of a saree $=Rs.(2200+572)=Rs.2772$
Let M.P of be $Rs.100$.
Then, discount $=12\%$ of Rs.100 $=Rs.12$
$\therefore S.P=Rs.100-Rs.12=Rs.88$
Now, if $S.P=Rs.88,M.P=Rs.100$,
$\therefore$ If $S.P=Rs.2772$, then

M.P $=Rs.\frac{100}{88}\times 2772=Rs.3150$
Thus, marked price of saree $=Rs.3150$
