Question

Find the SP of a cloth whose MP is Rs 1000 after allowing two successive discount 10% and15%

Answer 1

sp = mp(100-d%)/100
1000×(100-10)/100
900
second sp= 900 (100-15)/100
= 765 rs

Answer 2

Marked Price = Rs 1000

Find the selling price after 1st discount:

10% discount = 10% x 1000 = 0.1 x 1000 = Rs 100

Price after discount = 1000 - 100 = RS 900

Find the price after second discount:

15% discount = 15% x 900 = 0.15 x 900 = Rs 135

Price after discount = 900 - 135 = Rs 765

Answer: The selling price of the item after 2 discounts is Rs 765
