Question

A trader allows two successive discount of 30% and 10% . If he sells an article for rs1000 the Marked Price of the article wll be ?

Answer 1

Let the marked price of an

article = Rs x

Successive discount:

d1= 30% , d2 = 10%

Selling price = Rs1000[given]

=> x[(100-d1)/100][(100-d2)/100] = 1000

=>x[(100-30)/100][(100-10)/100]=1000

=> x*(70/100)(90/100)=1000

=> x = 1000×(100/70)(100/90)

= (1000×100)/63

= Rs1587.30

Therefore,

Marked price of the article

= x = Rs 1587.30
