Rizwan bought a kurta-pajama set for ₹1,116 from a new year sale offering 28% off on all the purchases. What was the marked price (in ₹) on the kurta-pajama set?

Correct option is C

Given:
Discount = 28%
Selling Price (SP) = ₹1,116
Formula Used:
​$$\text{SP} = \text{MP} \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Discount}}{100}\right)$$​​
Solution:
​$$1,116 = \text{MP} \times \left(1 - \frac{28}{100}\right) \\\Rightarrow 1,116 = \text{MP} \times \frac{72}{100} \\\Rightarrow \text{MP} = 1,116 \times \frac{100}{72}$$​​
=> MP = ₹1,550
