Question

A trader allows two successive discount of 30% and 10% . If he sells an article for rs108 the Marked Price of the article wll be ?

Answer 1

Let the marked price be x

After first discount, Price will be
x - 30% of x
=x - (30/100)x
=x -0.3x
=0.7x

After second discount,price will be
0.7x - 10% of 0.7x
=0.7x -(10/100)×0.7x
= 0.7x -0.07x
=0.63x

But, 0.63x = Rs 108
⇒x = 108/0.63
     = Rs 171.40

Answer 2

Answer:

sp=108

disconnt%=30%and10%

MP=sp×(100/100-discount%1)×(100/100-discount%2) 108×(100/100-30)×(100/100-10) 108×(100/70)×(100/10) =171.4
