selling price is $132
selling price = marked price - discount
discount should be (calculate on marked price)
132 = x - x*12/100
132 = x - 12x/100
132= 100x -12x /100
132 = 88x/100
88x = 132
x = 132/100
x = 150
hence marked price is 150 .

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:
We will use this formula:
selling price = marked price - discount
132 = x - x*12/100
132 = x - 12x/100
132= 100x -12x /100
132 = 88x/100
88x = 132
x = 132/100
x = 150
So $150 is the marked price.
