A dealer bought a refrigerator for Rs. 11515. After allowing a discount of 16% on its marked price, he gains 20%. Find the marked price of the refrigerator.

Cost Price = Rs.11515


Gain = 20%


Selling Price =



= Rs.13818


Discount = 16%


Let × be the market price.


Market Price – Discount = Selling Price


× – 16% of × = 13818


× – 16x/100 = 13818


84x/100 = 13818


X= (13818 × 100) / 84


= Rs.16450


So, Market Price of refrigerator is Rs.16450
