Answer 1

Answer:

Let MP of two balls be be ₹ X.

X * $\frac{85}{100}$ = 37.4

X = 37.4 * $\frac{100}{85\\}$

X = ₹ 44

MP of 1 ball = $\frac{44}{2}$ = ₹22

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Marked price of 1 ball = ₹ 22

● Explanation -

Discounted price for two balls is calculated by formula -

Discounted price = Marked price × (100 - discount %) / 100

37.40 = Marked price × (100-15)/100

Marked price = 37.40 × 100/85

Marked price = ₹ 44

So marked price of one ball is -

Marked price of 1 ball = 44 / 2

Marked price of 1 ball = ₹ 22

Hence, the marked price of each of the ball ₹ 22.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
