Answer 1

Answer:

325 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore we need to find the original price before discount

We can do this question by hit and trial method it would be more preferable so we would start by 300

14% of 300=42 Rs i.e. not our number

14% of 320=44.8 Rs i.e. not our number

14% of 325=45.5 here we got our number

So article must be of Rs=325 Rs after giving of 14% discount it would be of=325-45=280 Rs

Therefore our final answer would be 325 Rs
