Question

16. After allowing two successive discounts of 15% and 5%, a fan is sold for 2907. What is the marked price of the fan? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let marked Price be X

after first discount of 15%

Discounted Price= X --X (15/100)

= 0.85 X

after second discount of 5%

Discount Price = 0.85X --0.85 X (5/100)

=0.85X ( 1--5/100)

= 0.85X × 0.95

= 0.8075 X

This is the sale price

.Sale Price= 2907 ₹

Hence 0.8075 X = 2907

X = 3600 ₹

verification

marked price =3600

15% discount= 3600× 15/100

= 540 ₹

Price = 3600--540

= 3060 ₹

second discount= 3060× 5/100

= 153 ₹

sale price =3060--153

= 2907 ₹
