  1. A house was sold for Rs. y by giving a discount of x%, then the list price was :
    1. 100y
      100 − x
    2. 100y
      1 −
      x
      100
    3. 100x
      100 − y
    4. 100y
      1 − x
Correct Option: A

Let the marked price of building be Rs. z.
∴  According to the question,
z × (100 – x)% = y

⇒  z ×
100 − x
= y
100

⇒  z = Rs.
100y
100 − x

Second Method :
S.P. = Rs. y, D = x %
M.P. =
SP × 100
100 − D

M.P. =
y × 100
100 − x
