While selling a watch, a shopkeeper gives a discount of 5%. If he gives a discount of 7%; he earns 215 less as profit. The marked price of the watch is _______.

• A. Rs. $697.50$
• B. Rs. $712.50$
• C. Rs. $787.50$
• D. Rs. $750$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rs. $750$

Let the marked price $Rs.x$

$Discountdifference=Profitdifference$

$x\times \frac{7}{100}-x\times \frac{5}{100}=15$

$⟹x\times \frac{2}{100}=15$

$⟹x=Rs.750$

Therefore, marked price of watch is Rs. 750
