Question 128

The marked price of an article is ₹530. After two successive discounts,it is sold for ₹396.44. If the first discount is 15%, and the second discount is x%, then what is the value of x?

Solution

Given that market price = Rs 530

After 15% discount = $$530 - 530\times \dfrac {15}{100}$$

$$\Rightarrow Rs 405.5$$

After second discount price = 396.44

so second discount = 450.5 - 396.44 =Rs 54.06

so $$\dfrac{450.5\times x} {100} = 54.06 $$

$$Rightarrow \dfrac {540}{450.5} $$

$$\Rightarrow 12$$% Ans
