Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

Let the marked price of the blazer  be x

Selling price = 2464

Discount = 12%

Discount = 12% of marked price

= 12% of x

= 12x/100

selling price = marked price - discount

2464 = x - (12x/100)

2464 = 88x/100

2464 * 100 = 88

246400 = 88x

x = 246400/88

x = 2800.

So the final answer for this question is 2800.
