Question:
A tea set was bought for Rs 528 after getting a discount of 12% on its marked price. Find the marked price of the tea set.
Solution:
Cost price = Rs 528
Rate of discount = $12 \%$
Marked price =?
$\mathrm{SP}=\mathrm{MP}$ - discount
Let the MP be Rs $x$.
Now, $\frac{x-12}{100 \times x}=528$
$\Rightarrow \frac{88 x}{100}=528$
$\Rightarrow 88 x=52800$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{52800}{88}$
$\Rightarrow x=$ Rs 600
Therefore, the marked price of tea set is Rs 600 .
