Answer 2

Before, finding the answer. Let's find out how we can find the answer.

• In this question, we are asked to find the marked price of the Calculator.
• For finding the Marked Price, we have to use the formula of :

$\boxed{ \sf Marked \: Price = \dfrac{100}{100 - Discount } \times Selling Price}$

• Here, we have to first multiply the Selling Price by 100. And in the denominator, we have to subtract 100 from the discount. Then, we have to divide both.

Given :

• Selling Price = Rs. 1550
• Discount = 2.5%

To find :

• the marked price​

Solution :

Marked Price = 100/100 - Discount × Selling Price

                       = 100/100 - 2.5 × 1550

                       = 100/97.5 × 1550

                       = 155000/97.5

                       = 1589.74

Therefore, the Marked Price of the Calculator is Rs. 1589.74 (Approx).
