Answer 1

The Marked Price Of The Article Is Rs 150

GIVEN

Selling price = 108

First discount = 20%

second discount = 10%

TO FIND

The marked price(MP) of the article

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows -

We know, that the selling price is the discounted price of the actual/marked price of the article.

Let, The marked price of the article be, x

Now, First Discount on marked price = 20%

we know that,

Discount = (Discount%÷100) × MP

First discount = (20/100)× x = 0.2x

we know,

Selling Price = Marked price - Discount

Selling Price after first discount = X-0.2x = 0.8x

Second discount = 10%

Second discount = (10/100) × 0.8x = 0.08x

Price after second discount = 0.8x = 0.08x = 0.72x

Now, this price is the selling price of the article.

We know that

the selling price of article = 108

So,

0.72x = 108

x = 108/0.72 = 150

Hence, The Marked Price Of The Article Is Rs 150
