✬ Listed Price = 25000 ✬
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
To Find:
Solution: Let the marked price of sofa be Rs x. Therefore,
➟ Total discount = 15 % of x.
➟ Total discount = 15x/100
As we know that
★ S.P = Marked Price – Discount ★
A/q
21250 = x – 3x/20
21250 = 20x – 3x/20
21250 × 20 = 17x
425000 = 17x
425000/17 = x
25000 = x
Hence, marked price of listed price of sofa was Rs 25000.

➮ Discount = M.P – S.P
➮ Rs 25000 – 21250 = 3750
➮ 15 % = (3750/25000 × 100) %
➮ 15 % = (3750/250) %
➮ 15 % = 15%
