Question

a trader offer two successive discounts of 30 percent and 10 percent if he sell an article for rs 108 then find the marked price of the article

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 171.42 (OR) Rs. 171

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the marked price of the article.

SP after first discount of 30% = x * 70/100 = 0.7x.

SP after 2nd discount of 10% = 0.7x * 90/100 = 0.63x

The actual SP of article = Rs. 108.

0.63x = 108

x = 108 * 100 / 63 = 1200/7 = Rs. 171.428
