Here, D = 24%, S.P. = Rs.342, M.P. = ?
M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$

C.P. = $x × 77/100 × 100/110 = {7x}/10$
${77x}/100 - {7x}/10 = 56$
${7x}/100 = 56$
$x = {100 × 56}/7$ = Rs.800

a) Rs.1250
b) Rs.1275
c) Rs.1100
d) Rs.1175
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. = Rs.900, Gain = 10%
S.P. = Rs.$(110/100 × 900)$ = Rs.990
Let the marked price be x.
$90/100 x$ = 990
$x = {990 × 100}/90$ = Rs.1100
Using Rule 6,
Here, D = 10%, C.P. = Rs.900,
R = 10%, M.P. = ?
$\text"MP"/\text"CP" = {100 + r}/{100 - D}$
$\text"MP"/900 = {100 + 10}/{100 - 10}$
M.P. = $110/90 × 900$ = Rs.1100
