Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Rs. 300

Solution : Given: The selling price was Rs. 255 and the discount was 15%.
$ ext{SP}= ext{MP} imes \frac{100- ext{Discount}\%}{100}$, where SP = selling price, MP = marked price
$⇒255= ext{MP} imes \frac{100-15%}{100}$
$⇒255= ext{MP} imes \frac{85}{100}$
$⇒ ext{MP}=\frac{255 imes 100}{85} = 300$
So, the marked price is Rs. 300.
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 300.
