S.P=Rs.1800-Rs.630
S.P=Rs.1170

Answer 2

Answer: Rs1170

Given,

Cost of toy = 1800rs

Successive discounts = 20% + 15%

Selling price = ?

First we have to get know about the total discount on toy,

Total discount = 20+15

                        = 35%

                          

We get the total discount of a toy.

Discount = 35% of 1800

=>      35/100*1800

=>      630      

According to question, we have to find out the Total selling price.

Therefore,

Total selling price = Marked price - Discount

                              = 1800 - 630

                              = 1170

                                

Therefore, Selling price of a toy is Rs 1170

                    

Explanation:

In this question, The marked price and 2 Discounts were given. We have to find out the Selling price of the toy. First, we find out the Total discount. Which we get as a 35%. After that, we get the 35% discount of 1800 rs.

      

We get 630rs as a discount price. And lastly, we subtract Discount price from marked price. We get 1800 - 630 = 1170.
