Question : A person bought an article at a 30% discount on its marked price. The person then sold it at 30% profit for INR 427.70. What was the marked price of the article?
Option 1: INR 470
Option 2: INR 450
Option 3: INR 500
Option 4: INR 480
Correct Answer: INR 470
Solution : Let the marked price of the article be $x$ Cost price of the article at 30% discount = $x × \frac{70}{100}$ Selling price at 30% profit = $\frac{130}{100}\times$ cost price According to the question, $x × \frac{70}{100} × \frac{130}{100} = 427.70$ ⇒ $x = 42.70 × \frac{100}{130} × \frac{100}{70}$ ⇒ $x = 470$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 470.
