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.
