A discount of 14% on the marked price of an article is allowed and then the article is sold for ₹ 387. The marked price of the article is

Here , SP of article = ₹ 387 , discount = 14%
Let the marked price be y
∴ ( 100 - 14 )% of y = 387
⇒ 86% of y = 387

	86

We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, D = 14%, S.P. = 387, M.P. = ?

M.P. =	S.P. × 100
	100 − D
