Given:

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1320

Rebate = 12%

Formula Used:

SP = Marked Price (MP) × (1 - Rebate/100)

Calculation:

Let the Marked Price (MP) be Rs. x.

Rebate = 12%

SP = MP × (1 - Rebate/100)

1320 = x × (1 - 12/100)

1320 = x × (88/100)

1320 = x × 0.88

⇒ x = 1320 / 0.88

⇒ x = 1500

The marked price of the article is Rs. 1500.
