An article is sold for ₹ 657.90 after successive discounts of 15 % and 10%. What is the marked price of the article?
Let the marked price of the article $$=x$$ Rs.
So, as per the question, there is two successive discounts of $$15\%$$ and $$10\%$$
Hence, $$(\dfrac{x\times85}{100})\times\dfrac{90}{100}=657.9$$
$$\dfrac{x\times85\times90}{100\times100}=657.9$$
$$x=\dfrac{657.9\times1000}{85\times9}$$
$$x=\dfrac{657.9\times1000}{85\times9}$$
$$x=860$$Rs.
