Answer:

The cost of toolset before the discount was applied is:

                    Rs.  521.5189

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A tool set has been discounted down to a price of Rs 412.00.

The percent discount that is provided to us is: 21%

Let the actual price of toolset be: Rs. x

This means that:

[tex]x-21\%\ of x=412\\\\i.e.\\\\x-0.21x=412\\\\i.e.\\\\(1-0.21)x=412\\\\i.e.\\\\0.79x=412\\\\i.e.\\\\x=\dfrac{412}{0.79}\\\\x=521.5189[/tex]

   Hence, the actual price of toolset i.e. cost before discount is:

                        Rs.   521.5189
