Question

a microwave oven was available for rupees 5301 after successive discount of 10% and 5%. find the marked price. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent Discount,

=(A + B) - AB100

= (10 + 5) - 10×5100

= 14.5%

Let MP = X

Now,

X - 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price)

0.855X = 171

X = 200

Hence, MP = Rs. 200

Going through options,

200(MP) == 10%(disc.) ⇒ 180 == 5%(disc.) ⇒ 171(CP)
