Question

A shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of 10% and 20%.if he sells an article for rs 540 then the marked price of the article is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the marked price to be 100.

Discount 1 = 100 - 10% (100)

= 100 - 10

= 90

Discount 2 = 90 - 20%(90)

= 90 - 18

= 72

So item is sold at 72% of marked price.

Selling Price = 72% (Marked Price)

540 = 72/100 (Marked Price)

Marked Price = 540 × 100 /72

= 750
