Answer:
The actual price of the article was Rs. 1200.
Step-by-step explanation:
mp (marked price)
ap (actual price)
[tex]mp = 1380[/tex]
[tex]mp = ap + 15\%(ap)[/tex]
[tex]1 380 = ap + \frac{15}{100} ap[/tex]
[tex]1380 = \frac{100}{100} ap + \frac{15}{100} ap[/tex]
[tex]1380 = \frac{115}{100} ap[/tex]
[tex]1380 \div \frac{115}{100} = ap[/tex]
[tex]1380 \times \frac{100}{115} = ap[/tex]
[tex] \frac{138000}{115} = ap[/tex]
[tex]1200 = ap[/tex]
