The problem states that a tea set was bought for ₹528 after receiving a 12% discount on its marked price, and we need to find the original marked price.

Let's denote:

• The marked price of the tea set = $M$
• The discount = 12%
• The price after the discount = ₹528

Step 1: Understand the relationship between marked price and selling price.

After a 12% discount, the customer pays 88% of the marked price (since $100\% - 12\% = 88\%$).

This means: $528 = 88\% \text{ of } M$ Which translates to: $528 = 0.88 \times M$

Step 2: Solve for $M$ (the marked price).

$M = \frac{528}{0.88}$ $M = 600$

So, the marked price of the tea set is ₹600.

Tip:

When solving percentage problems, always start by determining what percentage of the original value you're dealing with after the change (e.g., a discount or markup).
