1. During a sale, a salesperson was putting a new price tag on each item. On one shirt, he accidentally raised the price by 15% instead of lowering the price by 15%. As a result the price on the tag was Tk. 60 higher than the price that would have been the discounted price. What was the original price of the shirt?
- A. Tk. 220
- B. Tk. 220
- C. Tk. 220
- D. Tk. 220
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Price after 15% discount = 100 - 15 = 85 TK.
Price after 15% raise = 100 + 15 = 115
Price difference = 115 - 85 = 30 TK.
If price difference is 30 TK. then original price is 100 TK.
If price difference is 60 TK. then original price is 100 x 60 / 30 = 200 TK
