Answer 1

Answer : Rs 170


Explanation -

Given :

Marked price = Rs 200

Discount = 15%



Finding the Discount -

200 x 15/100

= 30

Discount = 30



Finding the Selling Price -

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

= 200 - 30

= 170.

selling Price = ₹170

Answer 2

Option ( B ) is correct.

discount ( d ) = 15%

Selling price = m.p*[(100-d)/100]

= 2 × 85

= 170

Therefore ,

Selling price of the article = Rs 170
