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

Let mark price be the x


CP of the refrigerator is $11515


He gave a discount 16% on it, so we calculate discount on mark price


So,


Selling price = mark price – discount


Selling price = x–0.16x = 0.84x








x =$ 16450
