Answer 2

The original price of the saree was Rs. 650 and Babli has got a discount of Rs. 97.50.

Let the original price of the saree be x

Discount ℅ = 15℅

So, the discount is = Rs. 15℅ of x

Price of the saree after discount = 85℅ of x

Also, we know that price of the saree after discount is Rs. 552.50

So, we can write as:

85℅ of x = 552.50

Or, x = (552.50*100)/ 85 = Rs. 650

So, the original price of the saree is Rs. 650.

Amount of discount = Original price- Selling price = Rs. 650- 552.50 = Rs. 97.50.
