A computer is sold for Rs. 7650 after applying a 15% discount. What was its marked price?

1. Rs. 8500
2. Rs. 8800
3. Rs. 9000
4. Rs. 9500

Correct answer: Rs. 9000

Solution

A 15% discount means the selling price is 85% of the marked price. So marked price = 7650 ÷ 0.85 = 9000. Hence, the marked price is Rs. 9000.
