Question 53

A blanket is sold for $$₹ 680$$ at the discounts of 15% and 20%.Find the printed price of the blanket.

Solution

Let the Printed Price or Marked Price = $$M.P$$

Price after 15% discount = $$\frac{85}{100}M.P$$

Selling Price after 20% discount = $$\frac{80}{100}\times\frac{85}{100}M.P$$

Given, Selling Price of blanket = $$₹ 680$$

$$=$$>  $$\frac{80}{100}\times\frac{85}{100}M.P=680$$

$$=$$>  $$M.P=\frac{680\times100\times100\ }{80\times85}$$

$$=$$>  $$M.P=1000$$

$$\therefore\ $$Printed Price of the blanket = $$₹ 1000$$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D
