Answer 1

Answer:

1) 650

2) no marked price will not be same

Step-by-step explanation:

1) after 18% discount its 533 ....so 533 is the 88% ......so 100% is 533*100/82 = 650

2) two discounts 10 and 8 ....so by successive discoint formula...total discount will be 10+8+ (10*8/100) =18.8%. ....which us clearly more than 18% ...so sale price will be less then 533 or 18.8% of 650
