Answer 2

Hi ,

Buying price of a book = Rs 47.50

Discount ( d ) = 5%

Let the marked price = Rs x

Buying price = x ( 100 - d ) / 100

47.50 = x ( 100 - 5 ) / 100

47.50 = x × 95/100

( 47.50 × 100 ) / 95 = x

x = 4750 / 95

x = 50

Therefore ,

Marked price of the book = x = Rs 50

I hope this helps you.
