      Question

      A seller marked an item above its cost price and allows

      a discount of 25% on it. On the discounted price, the seller charges a packaging price which is equal to 6% of the discounted price. If the seller sold the packaged item for Rs. 2,544, then find the marked price (in Rs.) of the item.
      A Rs.2,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs.5,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.3,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.3,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the marked price be Rs. '8x'. Discounted price of the item = 0.75 × 8x = Rs. '6x' Net selling price = 1.06 × 6x = Rs. '6.36x' So, '6.36x' = 2544 Or, 'x' = (2544 / 6.36) = 400 Therefore, the marked price = '8x' = 8 × 400 = Rs.3,200
