  1. After allowing a discount of 12% on the marked price of an article, it is sold for ₹ 880. Find its marked price.
    1. ₹ 1,100
    2. ₹ 2,000
    3. ₹ 1,000
    4. ₹ 2,100
Correct Option: C

Here , discount = 12% , SP of an article = ₹ 880

∴ Marked price =
100
× SP of an article
100 − Discount

Marked price =
100
×880 = ₹ 1000
100 − 12

We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, S.P. = ₹ 880, D = 12%, M.P. = ?
M.P. =
S.P. × 100
100 − D

M.P. =
880 × 100
100 − 12

M.P. =
880 × 100
= ₹ 1000
88
