Using Rule 2,

Here, D = 24%, S.P. = Rs.342, M.P. = ?

M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$

= ${342 × 100}/{100 - 24}$

= $34200/76$ = Rs.450

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: (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
