Given:

A laptop is sold for Rs. 65,520 after a discount of 25%. 

Concept used:

Selling Price = Marked Price × (1 - Discount%)

Calculation:

Marked price of the laptop

⇒ 65520 ÷ (1 - 25%)

⇒ Rs. 87,360

∴ The marked price of the laptop is Rs. 87,360.

Shortcut Trick

25% discount means MP = 4 and SP = 3

Here, 3 unit → 65520 then, 4 unit → 65520/3 × 4 = 87360
