Question 60

An article is sold for ₹ 7650 after two successive discounts of 15% and 25%. What is the marked price of the article?

Solution

formula of successive discount =

$$d1+d2-\frac{\left(d1\times d2\right)}{100}$$

= $$ 15\%+ 25\% - (15\%\times 25\%) \div 100 $$

= 36.25$$\%$$

marked price = Rs 100

 discount       = $$\frac{36.25}{100}\times100 $$

                      = 36.25

Selling price = 100- 36.25 =63.75

Given that 

Selling price =7650

63.75= 7650

1= $$7650\div 63.75$$

   =120

Means 1 value is 120

And we assumed above that 

100 is our marked price 

1= 120

100= 12000

So marked price is Rs 12000
