Profit and Loss Practice Test 7

Discount = 15%
Let the marked price of the article = x
Selling price of the article = 629
Discount on price = (x - 629)
According to the statement,
(x - 629) = x of 15%
$\mathit{x}-629=\frac{15\mathit{x}}{100}$
$100\mathit{x}-62,900=15\mathit{x}$
$85\mathit{x}=62,900$
$\mathit{x}=740$
So, the marked price of the article is Rs 740.
