If the selling price after a 15% discount is Rs. 48, what was the original price?
Explanation
To find the original price after a discount, you can use the formula:
Original Price = Sale Price / (1 - Discount Percentage/100)
Given the sale price is Rs. 48 and the discount is 15%:
Original Price = 48 / (1 - 15/100)
= 48 / (1 - 0.15)
= 48 / 0.85
= 56.47
So, the original price is Rs. 56.47.
