Question 79

After two successive discounts of 20% and 35%, an article is sold for Rs 50700. What is the marked price (in Rs) of the article?

Solution

Let marked price = MP

the article is sold at two succesive discounts of 20% and 35>#/p###

selling price = 50700

$$\Rightarrow\frac{100-35}{100}\times\frac{100-20}{100}\times MP=50700$$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{65}{100}\times\frac{80}{100}\times MP=50700$$

$$MP=97500$$

so the answer is option C.
