Question:

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

Solution:

Selling Price $=$ Rs $216.20$

Rate of discount $=8 \%$

Marked Price =?

SP $=\mathrm{MP}-$ discount

Let the MP be Rs $x$.

Now, $x-\frac{8}{100} \times x=216.20$

$\Rightarrow \frac{92 x}{100}=216.20$

$\Rightarrow 92 x=21620$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{21620}{92}$

$\Rightarrow x=235$

$\therefore$ Marked price $=R s 235$
