Answer:
let market price = x
discount = 8x/100
selling price = 216.20 rupees
Market price = selling price + discount
x = 216.20 + 8x/100
x= 21620/100 + 8x/100
x= 21620+8x/100
from cross multiplication
100x = 21620+8x
100x-8x = 21620
92x = 21620
x = 21620/92
x = 235
hence, market price of toy = 235 rupees ans.
