Question

My school bag was sold for rupees 900 after giving successive discount of 20% and 10% respectively what is its marked price

Answer 1

If two successive discounts are given on the school bag and sold at 900 rs., then its marked price is Rs. 1250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the school bag be Rs. “x”.

First discount = 20%

So, the S.P. after first discount = x – 20% of x = 0.8 x

Second discount = 10%

So, the selling price of the school bag after the second discount = 0.8x – (10% of 0.8x) = 0.72x

But it is given that the school bag was sold after giving two successive discounts at Rs. 900

Therefore, we can write,

0.72 x = 900

⇒ x = 900/0.72

⇒ x = Rs. 1250

Thus, the marked price of the school bag is Rs. 1250 .
