Answer 1

here is your answer
d%=8%
profit%=15%
gain=rs 156
we know that
p%=p/cp*100
15=156/cp×100
cp=rs 1040
sp=cp×(100+p%/100)
=1040×(115/100)
sp=rs 1196
sp=mp(1-d%)
1196=mp(1-8%)
by solving it,
mp=rs 1300

Answer 2

Answer:

Marked Price of a suit = Rs. 1300

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount on the marked price = 8%

Profit earned by Preeti = 15%

Gain over the sale of a suit = Rs. 156

We know that,

Profit% = Gain/C.P. × 100

⇒ 15 = 156/C.P. × 100

⇒ Cost Price = Rs. 1040

Now, S.P. = C.P. × (100 + Profit)/100

⇒ S.P. = 1040 × (115)/100

⇒ Selling Price = Rs. 1196

Now, Selling Price = Marked Price(1 - Discount%)

⇒ 1196 = x · (1 - 8%)

⇒ x = 1300

Therefore, Marked Price of a suit = Rs. 1300
