​

Answer 1

Answer: rs 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

let mp =x

then , a.t.q

s.p.= m.p. - discount

s.p. = x - 12.5/100× x

s.p. = x - 1/8x

s.p. = 8x - x /8

s.p. = 7 x/8

but s.p. = rs 3500

then , 3500 = 7x/8

         3500 × 8 = 7x

           3500  × 8 /7 =x

            x = 4000

            hence, marked price  = rs 4000
