Answer:
Rs 8500
Step-by-step explanation:
For a cost price of c, the marked price is ...
marked = c +25%·c = 1.25c
After the 15% discount, the sale price will be ...
s = marked -15%·marked = 0.85·marked = (0.85)(1.25c) = 1.0625c
The profit will be the difference between the sale price s and the cost c:
p = s -c
500 = (1.0625c) -c = 0.0625c
Then the cost is ...
500/0.0625 = c = 8000
and the sale price is ...
s = c +p = 8000 +500 = 8500 . . . rupees
The selling price will be Rs 8500.
