    Question

    A seller marked an item above its cost price and allows

    a discount of 35% on it. On the discounted price, the seller charges a packaging price which is equal to 8% of the discounted price. If the seller sold the packaged item for Rs. 2,678, then find the marked price (in Rs.) of the item.
    A Rs.2,180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.3,816 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.3,143 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3,336 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the marked price be Rs. '9x'. Discounted price of the item = 0.65 × 9x = Rs. '5.85x' Net selling price = 1.08 × 5.85x = Rs. '6.318x' So, '6.318x' = 2678 Or, 'x' = (2678 / 6.318) = 424 Therefore, the marked price = '9x' = 9 × 424 = Rs. 3,816
