Answer 1

Answer:

3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the market price is a

so, the discount is

= a x 7.5%

$= a \times \frac{7.5}{100}$

$= a \times \frac{75}{1000}$

$a \times \frac{3}{40}$

so the discount prise is

$= a - a \times \frac{3}{40}$

$= \frac{37a}{40}$

so according to the question

$\frac{37a}{40} = 2775$

$or \: a = \frac{2775 \times 40}{37}$

$or \: a = 3000$

so the market price is 3000 rs
