percent. What is the cost before

discount?

(A) 325

(B)300

(C)285

(D) 275​

Let say Price before discount = Rs P

Discount = 15 %

15 % Discount = (15/100)P = 0.15P

Price after discount = P - 0.15P = 0.85P

0.85P  = 255

=> P = 255/0.85

=> P = 300

the cost before discount = Rs 300

option B is correct
