Question

Answer 1

Marked as brainliest plzzzz

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.72.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price = Rs.80

Discount = 5%

So, Discount = $\frac{5}{100} \times 80=4$

SP = Marked price - Discount = 80 - 4 = Rs.76

We are given that  a shopkeeper allows two successive discount of 5% each

New Marked price = Rs.76

Discount = 5%

So, Discount = $\frac{5}{100} \times 76=3.8$

SP = Marked price - Discount = 76- 3.8 = Rs.72.2

Hence the selling price of an article is Rs.72.2
