A shopkeeper gives a 5% discount on the selling price while selling a watch. If he gives a 6% discount on it, he will get Rs. 15 less profit than before. Accordingly, what is the marked price of that watch?

Explanation

Let the marked price of the article = Rs. $x$ According to the question $x \times 6\% - x \times 5\% = Rs. 15$ $x \times 1\% = 15$ $x \times \frac{1}{100} = Rs. 15$ $x = Rs. 1500$ Therefore, the marked price of the watch is Rs. 1500
