Question:

After allowing a discount of 8% on a shirt, it is sold for Rs. 828. Find its marked price.

Options:

Rs. 750

Rs. 854

Rs. 900

Rs. 928

Correct Answer:

Rs. 900

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Rs. 900

Marked Price = M

Discount = 8%

Selling Price, S = 828 = M - 8% of M = M - 0.08M = 0.92M

Marked Price, M = \(\frac{828}{0.92}\) = 900
