Answer 2

The original market price of the electric iron is Rs.2000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An electric iron is offered at a discount of %10.

At  discount of % 6 over the already discounted price during clearance sale. Electric iron is sold at Rs. 1692.

To Find :

The original market price of the electric iron.

Formula Used:

Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price

Discount Percentage = (Discount/Marked price) x 100

Solution:

Let the original market price of the electric iron is P.

As given- an electric iron is offered at a discount of %10.

  Electric iron price after % 10 discount $= P-P \times \frac{10}{100}$

                                                                  $= P(1-\frac{10}{100} )$

                                                                 $=P ( \frac{90}{100} )$

                                                                 $= 0.9P$

As given- At  discount of % 6 over the already discounted price during clearance sale. Electric iron is sold at Rs. 1692.

Electric iron price after % 6 discount  over the already discounted price  

                                                    $1692= 0.9P- 0.9P \times \frac{6}{100}$

                                                     $1692= 0.9P ( 1-\frac{6}{100} )$

                                                     $1692= 0.9P (\frac{94}{100} )$

                                                     $1692= 0.846 P$

                                                         $P=2000\ Rupees$

Thus, the original market price of the electric iron is  Rs.2000.
