Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ler x be the marked price of the article

After the 20% discount, its price became (80/100) = 0.80x

After the 05% discount, its price became (95/100)(0.80x) = 0.95*0.80x

Hence the equation

0.95*0.80x = 380

Solving the equation for x

0.7600x = 380

x = 380/0.76

. .= 100/0.02

. .= 500

Answer: The marked price of the article was Rs 500
