Question

A shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of $10\%$ and $15\%$ on his articles. If he gets Rs. $459$ for an article, find its marked price.

Answer 1

Successive Discounts given are $10\%$ and $15\%$

$S.P.=M.P.\times \frac{100-10}{100}\times \frac{100-15}{100}$

$459=M.P.\times \frac{90\times 85}{10000}$

$M.P.=\frac{459}{0.765}$

$\Rightarrow$ $M.P.=600$
