mark me up if my answer is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Given, SP of the article = Rs2775

Discount = 7 1/2% = 7.5%

Let the M.P of the article be Rs x

∴Discount=Discount×M.P/100

=7.5x/100

=Rs. 0.075x

Since S.P=M.P−Discount

⇒2775=x−0.075x

⇒2775=0.925x

⇒x=2775/0.925

⇒x=Rs.3000

Thus, the M.P of the article is Rs. 3000
