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? Correct Answer Tk. 200

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
