In a sale, all items were being offered at a discount of 15%. Vineet bought an item in the sale for Rs 4,284. What was the actual selling price of that item?

Given: In a sale, all items were being offered at a discount of 15%. Vineet bought an item in the sale for Rs 4,284.

Since, the item was sold at a 15% discount, Vineet Paid 85% of the original price.

85% of X = 4284

​$$\frac {85}{100} \times$$ 100 = 4284

Solve for X:

X = $$\frac {4284 \times 100}{85}$$

X = $$\frac {428400}{85}$$

X = 5040

The actual price selling before the discount was Rs. 5040

Thus, correct option is (b).
