Question

. An article is sold for Rs.380 after two successive discounts of 20% and 5%. Find its marked price ?

Answer 1

Consider MP = 100 X

20% discount = 100-20 = 80 X

5 % discount = 80 - 4 = 76 X

SP = 76 X

If Rs. 380 is 76 X , find the value for 100 X

$mp = \frac{380}{76} \times 100 = 500$

MP = Rs. 500
