Answer 1

Answer:

The marked price of the Jacket is 3500 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the price of the jacket. Naseem sold the jacket for 2975 rupees after a discount of 15% on its marked price. Thus we have  the equation in $x$ as,

$x-\dfrac{15}{100}x=2975$

On solving the above equation to find the value of $x$, we obtain

$\implies x(1-\frac{15}{100})=2975\\\\\implies x(\dfrac{100-15}{100})=2975\\\\\implies\dfrac{85}{100} x=2975\\\\\implies x=\dfrac{2975\times 100}{85}=3500$

So the marked price of the Jacket is 3500 rupees.
