Question

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

Answer 1

You have to keep in mind if two successive discounts are given as x% and y% , then total discount will be
(x+y -xy/100) % i.e. In this question
(15+5-75/100)% = 20-0.75 = 19.25% .
Now, SP is given = Rs 2907
Let Marked price will be x.
As per the question,
x - 19.25 % of x = 2907
x - 19.25x /100 = 2907
80.75 x = 2907 * 100
x = 2907 *100/80.75 = 3600.
So, Marked price = Rs 3600
