An article is sold for ₹ 612 after successive discounts of 25% and 15%. What is the marked price ofthe article?

Let the marked price of the article =x Rs

It is that there are two successive discounts of 25% and 15%.

Hence the new price of the article $$\Rightarrow x \times \dfrac{75}{100} \times \dfrac{85}{100}=612$$

$$\Rightarrow (x) \times \dfrac{3}{4} \times \dfrac{17}{20}=612$$

$$\Rightarrow \dfrac{51x}{80}=612$$

$$\Rightarrow 51x=612\times 80$$

$$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{612\times 80}{51}$$

$$\Rightarrow x=12\times 80$$

$$\Rightarrow x=960$$Rs
