Answer 1

Let the marked price(M.P) of table = X. 
After 12.5% discount the table costs Rs 5000.
X* 87.5/100 = 5000.
X= 5000*100/ 87.5 = Rs 5714.285.
X = Rs 5714.29.

Answer 2

Answer:

5714 is the answer...Hope it will help

Step-by-step explanation:

let X be the marked price

discount = 12.5% of X

selling price = MP - discount

5000 = X - 12.5 X / 100

5000 = 100X - 12.5X / 100

5000 × 100 = 87.5 X

X = 500000/ 87.5

X = 5714.28
