Listed price

Taken :

To find the list price use this formula -:

$\boxed{\sf{L=\dfrac{S}{1-\dfrac{D}{100}}}}$

Where,

L = Listed price

S = Selling price

D = Discount

Solution :

$\leadsto\sf{L=\dfrac{Rs.269}{1-\dfrac{15\%}{100}}}$

$\leadsto\sf{L=\dfrac{Rs.269}{\dfrac{100-15}{100}}}$

Made the denominator in simplest form

$\leadsto\sf{L=\dfrac{Rs.269}{\dfrac{17}{20}}}$

$\leadsto\sf{L=Rs.269\div\dfrac{17}{20}}$

$\leadsto\sf{L=Rs.269\times\dfrac{20}{17}}$

$\leadsto\sf{L=15.82\times20}$

$\leadsto\sf{L=316.4}$

So , the listed price is Rs. 316.4 .
