Question

mr dharmesh offers a successive discount of 5% and 15% whereas Mr verma offers a discount of 8% and 12%. if the final selling price is same in either case, what is the ratio of their marked price?

Answer 1

Answer:

let marked price of dharmesh is x

after 5% discount price 95x/100

• again after 15% discount price will 95x .85 / 10000

let verma's marked price is y

then after successive discount price will

92y .88 / 10000

now , 95x .85 / 10000 = 92y . 88/ 10000

or , 95x.85 =92y.88

or, x/y = 95.85/92.88

or , x : y = 8075 : 8096
