Answer 1

Hey Friend,

Thanks for asking question.

Here is the answer to your question : -
Pecent discount allowed by carpenter = 15%

Selling Price of Chair = 680

Lets assume the selling price of chair be 100%

Then,
The marked price will be (100 + 15)% = 115%


Hence,

The marked price of chair will be 115% of 680 = 115/100 * 680 = 23/20 * 680 = 23/2 * 68 = 23 * 34 = 782

The marked price of chair = 782

Hope my answer will be helpful to you.
