is the marked price of the fan
?​

Answer 1

Answer:

After allowing two successive discounts of 15% and 5% a fon is sold for rupees 2907. Therefore the marked price of the fan is Rs. 3600

Answer 2

Answer:

In a given problem

discount d1 =15% and d2 =5%

Let marked price be M.P and Selling Price be S.P

The formula will be

M.P(1−  d1/100)(1-d2/100)= S.P

which implies that

M.P= 2907/ (1-15/100) (1-5/100)

M.P= 2907 / (17/20)× (19/20)

M.P= 2097×20×20/ 17×9

M.P= 9×20×20= 3600

Therefore the marked price is 3600.

Hope it helps. Peace...
