Question 38
The marked price of an article is ₹1500. If two successive discounts, each of x% . on the marked price is equal to a single discount of ₹587.40, then what will be the selling price ofthe articleif a single discount of x% is given on the marked price?
Solution
Selling price = marked price - discount = 1500 - 587.4 = Rs.912.6
selling percentage = $$\sqrt{\frac{912.6}{1500}} = \frac{39}{50}$$%
x% =$$ (1 - \frac{39}{50}) \times 100 = 22%$$
Selling price on single discount = $$1500 \times \frac{78}{100}$$ = Rs 1170
