Question 72

The marked price of an article is ₹740. After two successive discounts of 15% and x %,it is sold for ₹566.10. What is the value of x ?

Solution

Marked price = 740

According to question,

Selling price = 740 $$\times \frac{100 - 15}{100} \times \frac{100 - x}{100}$$

740 $$\times \frac{100 - 15}{100} \times \frac{100 - x}{100} = 566.10$$

740 $$\times \frac{85}{100} \times \frac{100 - x}{100} = 566.10$$

740$$\times \frac{17}{20} \times (100 - x) = 56610$$

(100 - x) = 56610/629

100 - x = 90

x = 10
