Question

after a discount of 14% a toy was sold for 215 rs what was the market price of the toy

Answer 1

discount%=14%
cp=X
Sp=215
discount=cp_sp
discount=14% of X
cp-discount=sp
x-14%of X=215
x-14/100×x=215
43x/50=215
X=215×50÷43
X=250

Answer 2

Let the original price/market price be Rs.x

As per question

    x - 14x ÷ 100 = 215

⇒ 86x ÷ 100 = 215

⇒  x = (215 × 100) ÷ 86

⇒  x = 250

∴ The original/market price of the toy was ₹250
