Question

A shopkeeper offers 10% discount on all his items. During the festival season, he decided to give a further discount of 20% over and above the existing discount. Find the marked price of article whose selling price is ₹10,080.

Answer 1

10080-20%=8064
So, the answer is 8064

Answer 2

Given, Selling price = 10080.

Given discounts = 10% and 20%.

Let the marked price of the article = 'x'

Now,

We know that Selling price = (1 - d/100)(1 - d/100) * MP

⇒ 10080 = (1 - 10/100)(1 - 20/100) * x

⇒ 10080 = (90/100)(80/100) * x

⇒ 10080000 = 7200x

⇒ x = 14000.

Therefore, the marked price of the article = 14000.

Hope it helps!
