Question

An article was sold to a customer for $510 after allowing him a 15% discount on the marked price. Find the price at which the article was marked.

A. $600

B. $612

C. $625

D. $640

Answer 1

The price at which the article was marked is $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price at which the article was marked, we need to reverse the discount calculation. The customer purchased the article for $510 after a 15% discount, so the marked price would be the original price before the discount.

To reverse the 15% discount, we need to divide $510 by 0.85 (100% - 15%). This gives us $600, which is the price at which the article was marked.
