S1. We only know he purchased at a 15 percent discount but don't know the list price, Insufficient
S2. We know he added a 6 percent markup, but don't know the list price, Insufficient

Together, we still don't have any actual number for list price, so E.

There are no numbers mentioned apart from percentages. So we cant find the list price. Answer should be E.

What is OA?
