Answer 2

Answer: Rs. 3808.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given marked price = Rs. 4600

First discount= 10%

Cost of article after first discount  = Market price - discount

$4600-10\% \text{ of } 4600= 4600-\dfrac{10}{100} =4600- 460 =Rs. 4140$

Second discount = 8%

therefore selling price= 4140 - second discount

$4140-8\% \text { of } 4140 =4140 -\dfrac{8}{100} \times 4140=4140- 8\times 41.4= Rs. 3808.8$

Hence, the selling price of article after two successive discount is Rs. 3808.8
