howdy! hope you are having a good day!

to find the marked price (the original price) of the TV set, you can use the formula:

Marked Price = Selling Price / (1 - Discount Percentage)

in this case, the selling price is Rs 11,500, and the discount is 8%, which can be expressed as a decimal by dividing by 100 (8% = 0.08).

plug these values into the formula:

Marked Price = 11,500 / (1 - 0.08)

Marked Price = 11,500 / 0.92

Marked Price ≈ Rs 12,500

the marked price of the TV set is 12,500.
