Answer 2

Answer:

The amount of the bill after using the discount i.e., S.P. = £36.72

The rate of discount in the discount voucher = 15%

Let the amount in the bill before using the discount voucher i.e., the marked  price be £ "x".

Therefore, we know that

S.P. = M.P. - [Discount% of M.P.]

⇒ 36.72 = x - [15% * x]

⇒ 36.72 = x - 0.15x

⇒ 36.72 = 0.85x

⇒ x = 36.72 / 0.85

⇒ x = £43.20 ← amount before applying the discount voucher
