1. A discount of $2 \frac{1}{2} %$ is given to the customer on the marked price of an article. A man bought the article for Rs 39. The marked price of the article is = ?

A. Rs. 42

B. Rs. 36.50

C. Rs. 40

D. Rs. 41.50

Solution:

Discount = 2.5%

= \frac{2.5}{100} = \frac{1}{40} \begin{matrix} \to Discount \\ \to Market Price \end{matrix}

Market Price = Rs. 40
Discount = Rs. 1
Cost Price = 40 - 1 = Rs. 39
39 → 39 Actual Cost Price
40 → Rs. 40
