Answer 2

Answer:

Cost price = Rs. 153

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount = 10%

total discount = 17

Let's consider marked price of the object is x

Then, according to question,

10 % of x = 17

$=>\ \dfrac{10}{100}x\ =\ 17$

=> 0.1x = 17

=> x = Rs. 170

Hence, the marked price of the object will be 170.

Since, the discount is givemn at the marked price and the total discount is Rs. 17.

So, we can write

Cost price = marked price - total discount

                  = Rs. (170 - 17)

                  = Rs. 153

So, the cost price of object will be. Rs.  153.
