After receiving 3 successive discounts of 10%, 20% and 25% on MP of furniture, Maya purchased the furniture for rs. 9720. Determine the MP of the furniture.
Answers
Answer:
Price of furniture = 19285.71 Rs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of furniture = x
The price after discount of 10% = x - 10% of x = x - x/10 = 9x / 10
The price after further discount of 20% = 9x / 10 - 20% of 9x / 10
= 9x / 10 - 18x/100 = 90x/100 - 18x / 100
= 72x / 100
The price after further 30% discount = 72x / 100 - 30% of 72x/100
= 720x/1000 - 3(72x)/1000
= 720x/1000 - 216x/1000
= 504x/1000
According to given condition
504x/1000 = 9720
504x = 9720(1000)
504x = 9720000
x = 9720000 / 504
x = 19,285.714285 Rs
Thus
Price of furniture = 19285.71 Rs
Answer
Equivalent successive discount is 46% {from : x+y-(xy/100)}
SP = ₹9720
SP + 0.46MP = MP
SP = 0.54MP
MP = 9720/0.54
MP = 18000
