Question

If the selling price of five Bluetooth devices is ₹14,430 after allowing a discount of 26% on the marked price, then the marked price of one device is:

• A. ₹3,000
• B. ₹3,900
• C. ₹3,365
• D. ₹2,886

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ₹3,900

Selling price (SP) of 5 devices = ₹14,430
Discount = 26% ⇒ SP = 74% of Marked Price (MP)

Find total Marked Price of 5 devices

$\text{SP} = 74\% \text{ of MP}$
$14430 = 0.74 \times \text{MP}$
$\text{MP} = \frac{14430}{0.74} = 19500$

Marked price of one device

$\frac{19500}{5} = 3900$

Marked price of one device = ₹3,900
